Missed out on events that have been cancelled by the snow? So have we! This little
quiz was supposed to have been the music round in a pre-Christmas quiz night for the
Folkestone Carnival Court.
But since the weather forced the event’s cancellation, we thought we would let
everyone test their knowledge of Christmas popular music by putting it online.
It’s just for fun, no prizes, but if you send your answers to us here at Kentguide we’ll
post a list of the best and worst early in the new year... along with the answers!
So have a go, send us your answers to editor@kentguide.net and check back in the
New Year.
