Haylie Ecker, Eos Chater, Gay-Yee Westerhoff and Tania Davis - Bond

Bond is a crossover classical string quartet, similar in style to Vanessa Mae.

The members of the band are Haylie Ecker (first violinist, from Perth, Western Australia, Australia), Eos Chater (second violinist, from Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom), Tania Davis (viola player from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cellist from Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom). Their debut album, Born was kicked off the UK classical charts, apparently owing to it sounding too much like pop music. Bond are the #1 selling classical quartet of all time.
