The JOE Music Quiz: Week 101

100% here? You're Sheeran outta luck...

Ed Sheeran is in Ireland and everyone is very excited.

As such, it's only fair he gets his own special round in this week's JOE Music Quiz.

We also have a Sheeran-themed lyrics quiz elsewhere on the site, so go here for that one.

You'll also have a current events round, as is tradition.

The final round this week concerns TV show theme tunes.

Let's get this done...
