Synopsis
A music quiz in Gaelic, played by two resident captains and four viewers.
As well as the usual fingers-on-buzzers questions, rounds included: spot the song being played at high speed on the ukelele, songs played on the kazoo and other instruments, and spotting a tune from seven beats of music. The show always ended with the host and players playing instruments.
Highlight of the show may have been the round where the lyric of a hit song was translated into Gaelic. It brings a new dimension to such hits as "Milkshake".
Trivia
Fonn Fonn Fonn had a BBC Alba budget. It eked out those pennies by not including any pre-recorded music clips. Every tune was played live in the studio, so the producers only had to pay royalties on the song, not the recording.
