-The project is on behalf of Bell Media which will later reveal its content and timing of broadcast. The members of QW4RTZ are totally invested in it, true to their reputation of not doing things by halves.
Who says documentary, says research of archive images. We started working with the Musée de la Cité de l’energie, with Mauricie membership, the Nouvelliste archives which are a real Alibaba’s cavern of photos and period articles. So we’ve been secretly working on this for months.

A busy year
We will be extremely busy in 2025
confides François Dubé. The quartet plans to record a new album which will be released in the fall. He is also planning a new tour of shows for Christmas. And the tour of a new show for the beginning of 2026. It’s a big, big year of rehearsals, creation, writing
sums up the singer.
