If you would prefer to come as a group\, there is also the option to book a Team Member Ticket\, which allows you to attend as a team of five. \nWhether you joined us before or this is your first time\, expect a lively atmosphere\, plenty of interaction and a few surprises along the way. And of course\, there will be prizes for the winning team. \n  \nWhat to expect\n– A music themed quiz featuring a range of audio rounds \n– Teams created on the night to encourage connecting \n– Option to book as a team of five \n– A relaxed evening with drinks available from the bar \n  \nCome along\, test your music knowledge and enjoy an evening that is all about good company and great songs. \n
