History

Black Diamond Bay was formed by Jesse O'Mahoney and Tom Sidebottom and was realised fully as a live band in 2006 when they recruited four other band members. In 2010 they signed a recording deal with Exceptional Records with whom they have released an album - Come The Desert - in March 2011, along with several singles and an EP. The band have a strong Lithuanian following in London (Agne is Lithuanian) and have received strong support from Alan Raw via the Leeds based BBC Introducing show, which led to them playing at both Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2011, and being added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist rotation.
