Aberdour Music Quiz
My name is John McTaggart. I live in Aberdour and every now and again I do a music quiz for a chosen good cause. I started back in 2002 when I had to raise £1000 for Marie Curie's New York marathon appeal. Since then I’ve done about a dozen quizzes in venues ranging from Edinburgh University Students Union to Boroughmuir HS staffroom to Aberdour Institute to my cousin Anne’s living room. For a very rough benchmark, check out Radio 2’s Ken Bruce Popmaster and/or Radio Scotland Bryan Burnett’s Get It On. Not too many rules. A maximum of six to a group. Just come along and have fun. My main fundraising efforts this year are for the Alzheimer's Society. I'm cycling from London to Paris on July 27 - July 1. This is in honour of my dad, Joe McTaggart (left) who died recently. Please book me for a fundraiser. I'll work with your good cause too and we can raise funds together. I've also booked the great Welsh singer/songwriter Martyn Joseph to play at Aberdour Golf Club on the evening of Friday 8 June 2012. Profits will go to Alzheimer's/Alzheimer Scotland. Upcoming Quizzes
Saturday 28 April 2012, The Institute, Shore Road, Aberdour. Fundraiser for Aberdour Playgroup.Details soon Contact us here.aberdourmusicquiz will entertain you!FunThe basic idea is that I deliver a fun filled music quiz which provides you with a good night out. The questions are mostly on 70s-90s music. There are ten rounds in total with a wee break in the middle. There are questions for all musical abilities and none. Even if you don’t know the answers, you will enjoy the music played (it’s not a “silent” quiz”). Most of the music is very mainstream 70s-90s pop/rock, even if there is the odd fiendish question! FundraisingAll the money raised goes to the nominated charity/charities. There’s a role for just handing over money to a charity. I do it, we all do it. But, I enjoy putting the quiz together and meeting up with friends on the night. You get a good night out, the charity gets the money. So, it’s win-win for everyone.
