[Details about how to answer the quiz deleted]

We received more than 100 e-mails with quiz answers over the next four weeks, most of these had the correct answer:

"World on Fire" performed by Sarah McLachlan and Robbie Robertson, from Into the West, 2005.

Davy Gallagher

Thanks to all the contestants for participating, we'll be back next year with a new quiz and a new price! And a big thank-you to Jonathan Katz for creating this year's quiz.
