4BR Quiz: A colourful little brain tickler

Can you can tell us the link between Gilbert Vinter, Sir Clive Sinclair and Captain Scarlet..?

  Captain Scarlet already had a team of helpers called Harmony, Melody, Rhapsody and Symphony

We have a fantastic trio of low brass solo CDs for the winner of our Saturday quiz.

We have three great new releases from Steven Mead (Pulse), Katrina Marzella (Spotlight) and Bastien Baumet (Radiance) to give away to the person who can work out our little brain teaser.
