Exposed Vs… Roundabout

A Yorkshire quiz? Hosted by an Everly Pregnant Brother? With free pie? For charity? Ah, go on then. Exposed gets quizzical at Fitzwilliam & West – all for the love of Roundabout.

 

Words: Carl Reid. Pics: Phil Turner.

 

It’s a wet and wild Wednesday night in Sheffield – and, having battled the elements (and hitched a cheeky boat ride from some chap named Noah), we find ourselves within the cosy confines of the upstairs room of West One’s Fitzwilliam & West.

The reason? A chuffin’ Yorkshire quiz – all in aid of the bloomin’ reyt fab Sheffield charity that is Roundabout! And, by ‘eck, it’s a full house… tha noz. Our compere for the evening is none other than Mr Shaun Doane of Everly Pregnant Brothers fame – who, if you cut him, would bleed Hendo’s (which might come in handy as there’s free pie ‘n’ peas at half time).

We’re gonna play this one a bit differently, Sheffield. Courtesy of Roundabout, here’s the great Yorkshire quiz in its entirety (almost, bit hard to do a ‘Spot The Intro’ round within our papery walls) – so you can join in. Give us a tweet or a Facebook holla and let us know how you got on.

No cheating, now (especially YOU).
