   About The Ambassadors of Sorrow
The Ambassadors of Sorrow live somewhere small, wild and strange in Cornwall. Believing in the beauty of sad songs, the Ambassadors weave tales of love, loss, longing and hazy memories... Their other musician friends sometimes join them -- when they can find them, that is. The Ambassadors have recently scored two independent films and supported A Hawk and a Hacksaw. 'Loathsome Food' is now available as a limited edition 7" single from kabukikore records, and the 'Loathsome Food EP' featuring four tracks is now live on iTunes for your downloading pleasure. Some say they sound like Julie London singing the songs of Johnny Cash. This pleases the Ambassadors of Sorrow.

Hope the springtime in Kernow is unfulring with all the joy it must, and you are rolling in the dew for beauty and flustering hoohah.


WE are slowly slowly on a gathering and meeting walk across the south. it took a while to get going, too, but it is most well to now be out.


Hampshire is where we now lie, and it is fine.


We have a new toy, or place of serious information sharing: www.awalkaroundbritain.com

Send us word from there, please do, and we can in touch get more easily. We're weaning off the myspace murdoch machine, as slowly surely as we can.


All the best, much springtime joy to you all,

and cheerio.

Bang on. Your music is fine and strong. We hope to meet you someplace, but are not walking to Cornwall on the first wave of this journey. Perhaps on the way back down? It is difficult to imagine staying away from Kernow for more than a year...

take care, please keep the music flowing, and cheerio.

Hi there Ambassadors

Well in an idle moment I decided to record a cover of Aerosmith’s classic power ballad ‘What It Takes’ (from their 1989 album Pump, also featuring such immortal cuts as ‘Young Lust’ and ‘Love In An Elevator’). This isn’t some kind of knowing, ironic cover like when a band does a Britney Spears song or something – I genuinely love the song (well, I used to anyway), although I have attempted to divest it of some of its undeniable cheesiness. Mind you there’s only so much you can do with lines like “Your love made me a prisoner, yes my heart’s been doin’ time”…

This will probably be up on the myspace page for only a short time as, technically speaking, we don’t have Aerosmith’s *actual* permission to use it. I’m also told this type of thing runs contrary to some kind of arcane myspace regulation…?

For the purposes of comparison here is the original in all its big-haired glory, complete with one of the greatest (by which I mean shittest) videos ever:

Hey there Ambassadors of Sorrow. Hope you are all well. Loathsome Food - what a tune!

We have a new song up, "Dogs" - a chilling tale of canine revenge. Unusually for a My Pilot song, it is quite up-tempo and even features a discernible tune. Check it out if you get a spare 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Cheers!
