BOND – THE ORIGINAL ELECTRIC QUARTET RECORDS MINI ALBUM EXCLUSIVELY FOR PEUGEOT

Tracks for free download available at www.opentoallseasons.co.uk

Peugeot is delighted to announce that, to celebrate the launch of its brand new 308 Coupé Cabriolet – the convertible for all seasons - it has commissioned BOND, the all-female multi-million selling original electric string quartet, to write and record a new arrangement of classical music’s most popular work – the Four Seasons. The recording is available exclusively through Peugeot’s website.

An innovative move, this unorthodox release (four tracks; one representing each of the seasons) makes Peugeot the first car manufacturer to record and release a mini-album exclusively for free download.

The modern interpretation of the Baroque masterpiece has been recorded to mark the launch of the Peugeot 308 CC model - an innovative addition to the Peugeot family with a first-in-its class Airwave Neck Heating System that blows air around the neck, allowing the driver the pleasure of enjoying a convertible all year round.

In lending their genre-defying sound to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, the Bond girls were inspired by their good friend and colleague, Nigel Kennedy. Says viola player, Tania: “We were so happy to be invited by Peugeot to record our take on the Four Seasons. This is our own celebration of one of the greatest and most exciting pieces of music and which all string players adore performing.”

This also marks the first time Bond unveils its new member, violinist Elspeth Hanson. Elspeth was chosen from hundreds of musicians and is the beautiful and hugely talented violinist who played alongside David Beckham; guitar legend, Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis at last year’s handover to Britain at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

British-based Bond (Eos Chater, violin; Elspeth Hanson, violin; Gay-Yee Westerhoff, cello, and Tania Davis, viola) will be staging a string of free live performances as they accompany the Peugeot 308 CC road-show throughout the country (dates include Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle). Free of charge to the public, the events promise to live up to Bond’s vibrant reputation for delivering its spectacular musical and visual performance.

The launch of the 308 CC brings something new and exciting to the Peugeot portfolio and with its low sporty profile it is the must-have buy of the year for style enthusiasts. The car’s four full-size seats capitalise on the renowned strength of the existing 308 range, whilst still embodying the spirit of the highly acclaimed 307 Coupé Cabriolet. But only with the launch of 308 CC can a convertible be enjoyed whatever the weather, as the car’s inbuilt air vent diffuses warm air around the occupant’s neck - making the Peugeot 308 CC the only convertible in its class that is adaptable to every season.

Bond/ Peugeot tour dates are as follows:
6th June – Birmingham Bullring
27th June – Metro Centre, Gateshead

A WHEEL SUCCESS: LADIES WITH MS CONQUER 84 MILE TREK

Britain’s one and only ‘Scooter Formation Team’ – the Red Wheelies – have been thrust into the spotlight as they completed their biggest challenge yet: a gruelling journey along the full length of Hadrian’s Wall, travelling over 84 miles in less than two weeks.

It is the first time that anyone has ever attempted to travel the distance of the world renowned Roman wall on mobility scooters in its 2,000 year history – ensuring that the ladies are true trail blazers and hopefully their experiences could encourage other people to follow in their tracks for years to come.
All members of this pioneering party have Multiple Sclerosis - eight of the nine are grannies, two celebrate their ruby wedding anniversaries this year, three will turn 60 before the end of 2009 and between them, they boast an impressive combined age of 542.

The group undertook this colossal challenge, on scooters donated by Quingos, in order to raise much needed funds for The Kent Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre in Canterbury, a self funding charity, set up by MS sufferers – and offering oxygen therapy, physiotherapy, nutrition and diet advice, nurse clinics, support groups and counselling services for both patients and carers.

Red Wheelie team leader, Jackie Weeden, said; “It has a been a truly amazing journey. There were a few days when we feared the weather would beat us. However, we battled on and crossed the finishing line with the sun shining in the end!"

“We also want people to know that MS is by no means the end and can be the start of something new and different. We are self-funding and completed this expedition as part of our annual holiday, ensuring all funds raised go direct to the Therapy Centre we attend.
“We have received some fantastic support from Quingos Mobility Scooters –without them, this trip really wouldn’t have been possible. I hope we've shown that we certainly don't shy away from the challenge and we can't wait to get started on something new and keep raising both funds and awareness for MS."
