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, and longing. Some say they sound like solitude, hazy memories, or the little things in nature that usually go unnoticed. Still others say they sound like Julie London singing the songs of Johnny Cash, which pleases them greatly.

NEW REVIEW OF EASTERLY
There's a very pleasing review of Easterly on Hear The Unheard, read it here
MARK LAMARR PLAYS 'I MEAN THIS CHASTELY'
Yep, God's Jukebox included 'I Mean This Chastely' last night! How we love Mark Lamarr -- though we mean this in an entirely appropriate and chaste manner, of course. Listen here!

MARK LAMARR PLAYS 'BLESS YOUR NAME'......
Bless Mark Lamarr, he's just played another track from Easterly. 'Bless Your Name' is the penultimate tune on 'God's Jukebox' on Saturday 6th March, BBC Radio 2. It's blissful to be included on such a stunning show. Listen here
TOM ROBINSON PLAYS 'I MEAN THIS CHASTELY'.........
Oh yes, tis true, and we're very excited too -- Tom Robinson has picked 'I Mean This Chastely' for his BBC 6 Music show, 'Introducing: Fresh On The Net'. The show goes out at midnight on Sunday 7th March, & you can listen again for 7 days if you click on the link here
MARK LAMARR PLAYS 'UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF SKI-ING'........
All sorrows dispersed when we found out Mark Lamarr played 'The Unbearable Lightness of Ski-ing' featuring Patrick Freyne on his Radio 2 show, 'God's Jukebox'. He really liked the album & said he'll be playing more tracks in the weeks to come, so listen out. Hooray! The bad news is that he didn't like the song title, & won't let Angeline nose through his record collection. Sigh.... If you're quick, you can still listen on the iPlayer (broadcast date: 27th Feb 2010) Click to listen here
BBC 6 MUSIC PLAYS 'A WASTE OF MY TIME'......
Jon Holmes played 'A Waste of My Time' on 30th Jan, and seemed to really like it... hooray! The very light-fingered can still listen again. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music, then click 'J' to find the Jon Holmes page. Click 'Listen Now' in orange to hear the latest show from 30th Jan. Beginning at about one hour 10 mins in, is the hilarious story of how they picked our track. Enjoy!!!!
AMBASSADORS PLAY CLUB VERTIGO, 22nd NOVEMBER
The dapper folk at Truro's Club Vertigo have invited us to play on 22nd November. We look forward to seeing you there, dressed in your finest if this pleases you...
ALBUM LAUNCH WAS FAB!
A huge thankyou to everyone who came to the Easterly launch on Friday, the whole evening far exceeded anything we had hoped for. Big thankyous are due also to Anna & Patrick for their darkly beautiful music, to the DJ-ing genius of Random Jukebox, to Ryan for the best sound we've ever had, to Sally for beautiful flute-playing, to Sapphire for expert doorsmanship, to George for photos & so many other things, & to Miss Peapods for hosting. Whilst we relish the remainder of the buzzy exciting feelings, you can check out pictures from the night.

The launch gig for new album 'Easterly' has now been confirmed. Come and join the sorrowful throng at Miss Peapod's Cafe, Penryn, Cornwall, on Friday 23rd October 2009. It's deliciously close to Hallowe'en, so don't be afraid to Ham(mer) it up. The digipak version of the CD will be available for purchase at the launch gig -- at a special celebratory price I should add... We are, we think, justly proud of the lovely packaging & design, courtesy of former guitarist, illustrator & surfer Mr Nick Radford, & band photos by multi-talented drummer Jess Carter (studio shots) and his multi-talented bride, George Carter (outdoor shots). Check out our Photos section to see some products of the most recent photo shoot by George.
