George Cheyne: December 2025

If you’re overheating with the stress of the festive season then it’s time to chill with our special 70s music quiz courtesy of George Cheyne.
It shouldn’t be too taxing – even if your head’s bursting because of the holidays.
All 27 questions are, understandably, based on 70s music. And if you take the first letter of each answer it will spell out a familiar saying.

Answers will be published tomorrow and the first person to spell out the familiar saying and add it to the comments section below will win a ‘chicken in the basket’ night out at Shuffles with Farrah Fawcett or David Cassidy!

Enjoy!
