U105’s Johnny Hero will be putting quiz enthusiasts like John Baxter (left) and Ricky Watts, of KP Snacks (NI), through their paces during the McCoy’s NI Pub Quiz.
The Grand Central Bar in Derry is to host a heat of the McCoy’s NI Pub Quiz which has a grand prize of £1,000.
Local quiz enthusiasts are invited to compete in the heat being staged in association with U105 radio station in the city centre venue on 13 May next.
The station’s popular drive-time presenter Johnny Hero will be the guest quizmaster at the grand finale in Arbele Lounge at The Errigle Inn, Belfast, on Thursday, 5 June.
Johnny Hero said he was looking forward to hosting the final.
He said: “We are a competitive bunch in Northern Ireland and enjoy a good quiz and this is certainly Northern Ireland’s definitive pub quiz.
“The standard at these events is incredibly high and the weird and wonderful facts that the top teams have at their disposal never ceases to amaze me.
“So whether you believe it’s the taking part that counts or your eyes are firmly on the grand prize, the McCoy’s NI Pub Quiz will certainly get the adrenaline pumping and guarantee a great night out with friends.”
Previous winners of the quiz include two-time champions The Hoffs from Belfast who went on to appear on the BBC TV quiz show Eggheads, We’re Only Here For The Crisps from Bangor and The Sandbaggers from Portstewart.
Hopefuls wanting to test their knowledge against the best in this year’s competition should simply turn up at the Grand Central on the night.
Teams must have no more than six members and must be available to participate in the final in Belfast on 5 June.
Demand is expected to be high so participants are advised to arrive early on the night to avoid disappointment.
