At its launch, Bond shook-up the world of classical crossover before going on to sell over 4 million albums. The quartet is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary and returns with a brand new album, Play.

This new album draws its inspiration from classical, latin, folk, jazz, rock, pop, electro, Indian and middle eastern styles and, as well as embracing plenty of original material, presents a pop/classical version of AR Rahman's 'Jai Ho' (made famous by Slumdog Millionaire), a rewiring of the original string line from the Rolling Stones, 'The Last Time' (better known as The Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony') and a Bond-esque version of 'Pump It'.

Bond collaborated with London-based hip hop rappers, the Young Offenders, for the track, 'Diablo'. Chater wrote 'West With the Night', in homage to the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Cellist Westerhoff contributed 'Beatroot', which takes the listener on a journey through Russia, Eastern Europe and into the Middle East. The quartet re-recorded its original hit, 'Victory', in celebration of its anniversary and the surprising final track is a fast drive through five of Lady Gaga’s best-known songs!

Tania Davis (violin), Eos Chater (violin), Elspeth Hanson (viola) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello) complete the bevy of talented and beautiful women that make up Bond. The quartet made the album with long-term collaborator, Magnus Fiennes, and producer Graham Stack (of Kylie Minogue, Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Take That, Westlife and Girls Aloud fame).
