Career

Formed in 2005 by cellist Izzi Dunn and manager Tee Bowry, Demon Strings is composed of some of the UK's finest string players specializing in live, television and recorded work.

As Damon Albarn's "in-house" string section, Demon Strings worked closely with him on several of his projects. These included the Gorillaz album Demon Days, a run of shows at The Manchester Opera House and The Apollo and several TV performances. Continuing the relationship, 2007 saw Demon Strings tour Europe and the US with Albarn's The Good, The Bad and The Queen.

Another of Albarn's projects, Monkey: Journey To The West saw the Demon Strings as part of the orchestra for runs at the Royal Opera House, Palace Theatre Manchester, Théâtre du Châtelet and culminated in a three month run at The O2.

In 2008 The Demon Strings joined producer Mark Ronson on his world tour promoting his Version album, headlining many festivals including Glastonbury,[4] Big Day Out (Australia) and Coachella (US).
