Beat It! Music Quiz

BEAT IT! WINS AN AWARD!
Beat It! has won Best Speech Show at the Cardiff Student Media Awards 2008 for our first show in March. Thanks to Jonny and Rowena for taking part!

Awarded Best Speech Show at the Cardiff Student Media Awards 2008 (as judged by Radio 4‘s Paddy O‘Connell), Rhys Phillips challenges two students each week to go head to head in testing their musical knowledge. It‘s kind of a pub quiz meets Never Mind the Buzzcocks meets Counterpoint.. if you can imagine such a thing!
