Andrew Bond: Hi, my name is Bond, Andrew Bond. I live in Switzerland and I'm a singer-songwriter, musical producer and book author, mainly for children. Now, people here in Switzerland don't believe this is my real name because it's so special. They always think about James Bond or maybe Michael Bond, the man who wrote the Paddington books. Now, when I was a boy, it wasn't such a special name because I grew up in England and there were lots of Bonds around and there were so many Andrews, it was even the name of the year for boys in England in 1965 when I was born. We were five Andrews in the same class.
