The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 346

By Charlie Herbert

We’re back!

That’s right – JOE has returned with another iteration of our legendary Friday Pub Quiz.

Given the weekend that is in it, we’ve prepared a special Eurovision round. There’s also another one on pop music in films, inspired partly by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in cinemas now.

Hopefully, you can all pick up more than ‘douze points’ and crown yourself the (Star)lord of the quiz this week.
