This is a new departure for Q Branch who have formerly specialised in supplying software and hardware for Sinclair QL computers and emulators.  This follows on directly from my own experience as a Sound Engineer. I also performed with a few bands myself in the seventies and eighties. Among these were DOGWATCH and Roy Weard's Last Post. We hope to be able to supply CDs from these soon. 

For the moment we are offering CDs from a couple of local artists but we are looking into the prospect of supplying other types of music.
