Christmas quizzes 2006

5 January 2007

All you need to do is solve the song-clue below, thinking about the album depicted on this page, and referring to the How to Play instructions. The clue points to a single song-title, and you'll need to make a note of it until the twelfth and final night of the competition, when we shall tell you how to use it. This track features one instrument not heard elsewhere on the album The song has not been played by The Palers' Band at any of BtP's Procol conventions (Guildford, Kristiansand, Manchester, Los Angeles and Lejre) more's the pity, but it was comprehensively revisited on one of the Palers' Project albums Two of the words in the title of this song are heard in the track; one is not heard.

So that's all the clues ... so, how do you win?

It's not difficult: you have before you the names of twelve Procol Harum songs (all carefully written down as they appear on the album-sleeves, of course). Now isolate the twelfth letter of the first answer, the eleventh letter of the second answer, the tenth letter of the third answer, the ninth letter of the fourth answer and so on in sequence right down to the second letter of the eleventh answer and the first letter of the last answer. Disregard spaces, hyphens, parentheses and so forth when counting the letters.

So now you have twelve alphabetical letters: simply rearrange them to form the name of one of the members of Procol Harum (click here for the list and [clue] we've heard him play in 2006) then send us – by clicking here – the name of the place in the UK where he was born.

Cue applause!
