Here are the answers to the questions posted yesterday in It’s Rock n’ Roll (Kids).
I received a mail from a reader wondering about my lack of a picture round. Specifically, they wondered if I had deprived them of a Eurovision-themed round. Fear not! It was just a ‘regular’ picture round. If it had featured 20 Eurovision performers, I would definitely have gone the extra mile to post it up!
