Christmas Quizzes 2019–2020

Solution of the Day : 25 December


These were the What3Words coordinates:

barnyard.foxy.talent.cucumber.mixer.sound

The locations concerned were: in the Black Sea; Kashmir; Gotaplatsen in Gothenberg; and somewhere in Changchun ... a very easy one to start with.


Four ancillary clues, of which (only) one is nonsensical
 

1

Procol played songs from seven albums at this gig; the evening’s guitarist had not played on any of those albums.

The guitarist is the clue to the period in Procol history ... only Geoff Whitehorn fulfils those criteria, so it's post 1992.

2

Unusually, the third number on this occasion was a heavy instrumental from 1967

Repent Walpurgis

3

The band on this occasion contained three players whose surnames begin with the letters ‘Br’

Brooker, Bronze and Brzezicki

4

The organist at this recital played his final six Procol gigs at (or near) slaughterhouses; this was the fifth of the six.

No he didn't, no it wasn't

So all competitors presumably wrote down the place and date (2 February 1992) in their daily notes.
