Among the best new films out this summer is Baz Luhrmann’s biopic of a MFMM favourite, Elvis. In celebration, we thought we would throw together a little quiz to see how well you know the King of Rock and Roll!

We dive into the history of the BBC Proms. Let us know if you are off to the Proms this summer, or have any favourite memories of one of the concerts, as we would love to hear all about them!
