Bond was formed following initial conversation between music producer Mike Batt and promotor Mel Bush, after Batt suggested to bush that the two of them should put together a quartet consisting of "for beautiful", telented musicians". Some time later, Bush pushed ahead with idea, recruiting producer Gareth Cousin to help choose the line up and define the band's sound. This resulted in an initial four recording tha band made, leading to Bond being signed by Decca. Three of those original recording, "Duel", "the 1812" and "Dalalai" were the backbone of the first album, Born, wtih producer Magnus Fiennes providing additional tracks and Mike Batt adding a remix of "Victory", which became the first single. The quartet currectly consists ot Tania Davis (first Violin, formeely Viola, from Sydney, Australia), Eos Chater (scond Violin, from Cardiff Wales), Elspeth Hanson (Viola, from Upper Basilon, England) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (Celo, from Hull England). Hanson replace original band member Haylie Ecker (formerly first violin), when she left in 2008 to have a child. Bond has been described as the best selling string quartet of all time, selling over 4 million records.
