November is one of my favourite months. Winter is beginning to arrive but there's still enough early evening sunlight left to draw the days out. Unfortunately, many community events will not be able to proceed in the usual manner this year - with Bonfires up and down the country having to be scaled back in size and in Scotland, St. Andrews Day events on the 30th will suffer, too.

 

There's still lots to love about November - and many musicans have paid tribute to the month in song. I've collected up ten examples below.

 

This quiz contains ten questions on many of the great songs and bands that have paid tribute to the month.

 

You can play along on your own or with friends and family. The questions are presented first, with the answers to follow.
