15 pub quiz questions to test your general knowledge - January 27

Friday is finally upon us, which means its time for the weekly ECHO pub quiz.

You can't beat a good quiz and every week we put together our own version to really test your knowledge. From music, TV and film questions, to history, geography and science - there's something to suit everyone.

We all love gathering our friends and forming a pub quiz team or shouting out the answers to our favourite TV quiz shows - but how many of our questions can you get right? It's time to find out.
