The music round is always a favourite for pub quiz fans. The round can be anything from Beat the Intros to some really tricky questions about obscure artists. Here is our selection of the best questions and ways to turn your music round into the best round yet.
For many, the best way to run a music round is to think similarly to hit TV series Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
In the series, teams would perform the introduction to a famous song, hoping their teammate would be able to guess it.
This can be a fantastic way to make your music round more interactive, and there are various ways to do it.
It could be, if you are hosting a pub quiz and a budding musician yourself, to use this as an excuse to dust off the old recorder, trombone or whatever musical instrument you played at school and it give it a go.

If you select a good few songs with recognisable intros, playing a version on your instrument can be a fun way to mix up the quiz.
Another way to run the music round is to mix it up with other rounds, such as politics or news rounds.
Consider finding a couple of easy-to-play tunes and performing them, while sneaking in the names of famous politicians or newsworthy names into the lyrics.
This way, pub quizzers must name the person hidden the lyrics, while also naming the song itself.
However, for those who prefer a good old fashioned quiz, here is a range of questions and answers which could be useful.
