Band Name Origins

£1.00
The aim of this pub quiz handout round is to identify 15 famous rock and pop groups from the origins of their names. For example, the correct answer to "The name of the Archduke whose assassination precipitated World War I" is Franz Ferdinand.
A few of these origins are fairly straightforward to ensure that teams in your quiz get up and running on this round without too much trouble, however there are also some tricky clues (e.g. "The school nickname of a band member that originated from a breathing problem he had due to asthma") that are likely to take a fair bit of puzzling over before teams arrive at the correct answer.
It is recommended that this round is used in a quiz as a handout round. For more information on handout rounds and our recommended use for them in quizzes click here
Please note that this handout round also appears in Weekly Quiz 304. If you would prefer to purchase our pre-compiled full weekly quizzes, then click here, where you can find quizzes with a handout round, 2 rounds on general subjects, a specialist subject round, a connections round, an initial letter link round, and a stick or twist round, as well as professionally designed answer sheets and full instructions on how to run your quiz. If, however, you prefer to use your own format for your quizzes, then this handout round should help towards creating an entertaining and challenging quiz.
If you buy this handout round, we will give you access to pdf files you can download. Two of these will be for the main handout sheet - one as illustrated above, and one in a more plain format. The third sheet will contain the answers. You probably already have everything you need to access and use these rounds in your quiz, but you might want to check our requirements page to make sure.
