Old Band Names 2

Available for instant download

£0.95

This pub quiz handout round features a list of 10 famous bands (Abba, Oasis, etc), a list of band names that they used before settling on the name by which we now know them, and a list of facts about the band (e.g. "In 1985 they became the first Western pop group to tour China"). The aim of the round is to match up the old band names and facts to the correct bands.

The facts were carefully chosen so that most are unlikely to be obvious to which band they belong, but that it should be obvious that there are a few bands on the list that they are very unlikely to belong to. This means that as well as testing people's knowledge in the world of music, it will also test their powers of deduction as they try to to match each fact with the correct band. For the old band names, there should be a few that most teams will know straight away, but it is likely that teams will have to rely on educated guesswork for some of these.

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round as it is likely to keep people occupied and entertained for a reasonable length of time.

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.
