It's trvia time...
80s day is underway on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland. Tom's on air right now and sounding great. Lots of good stories about Live Aid including some from Radio scotland listeners who were there on the day, and of course music from the stars of the day. Oh and Nik Kershaw as a guest - how 80s-tastic is that??
This is your last chance to have a go at our 80s trivia quiz, complied by our very own king of trivia, Richard. There are no prizes, it's just for fun but you do get to show off to all your mates with your knowledge of pop from the decade. It's a toughie though.
Answers will be available on the main Radio Scotland blog from 6pm tonight. Good luck...
