The Upton Festival Programme contained a quiz with the winning entry getting a £20 prize, closing date 15th May 2005. There were a phrase and character shown at the bottom of each page in the programme.
If there is an absolute tie the eventual prize winner is drawn out of a hat. However, if you can find and solve the one that is an anagram of the publication from which all the phrases were taken from /songs published in, and upon which the competition is based, then there may not be the need for the hat. Essentially you have to name the song that the phrase belongs to, name the author of the words and solve the hidden anagram.

Phrases as follows:

"We're here for fun right from the start"

"My flock and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye"

"it's fetch a bucket of water girls, and put it out again"

"The clock struck one"

"My dear it rains, it hails and snows"

"But still my soul feels heavenly bound"

"A-rose from out of the azure main"

"When will I hear the banjo tumming"

"In the bosom of shade, with the friend I love best"

"The Brave old Victory led the way"

"Tis seven long years since I last saw thee"

"Cooking hen, blow on the cress"

"Since when it grows, and smells I swear"

"I bought her two gold earings"

"Listen to the silvery bells"

"A brushing fox in yonder wood"

"I turned cat-in-a pan once more"

"Low, low breathe and blow"

"Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades"

"Thou green-crested lapwing thy screaming forbear"

"Angels fold their wings and rest"

"They never see us but they wish us away"

"A charm from the skies seem to hallow us there"


Three years ago we did a similar quiz, and eventually mudcats cracked it,... so this one is harder.

Good luck,

Festival Cat

Coinwolf,

I only got a few without looking anything up. Would a combined Mudcat entry (with the prize going to your nominated charity) be eligible?

Am I right that you want the author as well as the title of each song?

The songs are easily available(on mudcat), so to make it more difficult we are after the author as well.

We will obviously look at all entries before deciding a winner.
