About me: Adventure seeker with a particular love for CAMBODIA and its incredible history, culture and people. My first trip out here was in 1994, a white-knuckle ride of an adventure that hooked me for life. I have returned each year since, on the hunt for long-lost ancient temples in the Cambodian countryside, but also to meet up with my Khmer pals too. Though Cambodia has much to offer visitors, its the welcome and warmth of its people that are its greatest attraction. I now live & work in Phnom Penh. If I can help you with anything Cambodia-related, just ask.....
Music lover with a consuming interest in reggae legends, STEEL PULSE and lots more bands and individuals ranging from the maestro Ennio Morricone to Roy Hill/Cry No More to Yaz Alexander to Gabbidon to Tony Hinnigan/Incantation to Black Roots to Percy Dread/The Natural-Ites to Billy Bragg to Strawbs and so on. I'm particularly proud to host the web's largest unofficial archive on Steel Pulse and welcome input from any other Pulseheads in cyberspace......
I'm a book-worm with a serious interest in books on Cambodia and Southeast Asia, and much more besides.....
I'm also a football and sports fan, in particular a life-time supporter of Leeds United and Kidderminster Harriers.......

Happy belated birthday, Andy. How are you doing? Doing much traveling lately? Would you believe that "To Touch the Soul" has won 9 awards so far? Three of them are for Best Documentary and 1 is for an Award of Excellence. We've even been to Australia! Let me know how you are. Take care.
Sending love your way my dear friend... long time eh! We're off to Poland tomorrow for the Ostroda Reggae Fest. Will be thinking of you as we rock to the reggae beats! Stay Blessed all-ways. xXx
Hello there Andy! Are there any new evidence or excavations being done at the Angkor Borei or you can call it Funan! Also are there any new evidence or book about Chenla! I'm more interested in learning about these two great civilization than Angkor! I want to know what happen between these two kingdoms!
Hi Andy, Thanks very much for the birthday greeting my friend, much appreciated. Good to hear you're back on the mend and hope you're having a nice weekend. The Island 50th anniversary show went well, met up with lots of folk I haven't seen for ages including Mike Riley, Brindsley, Godwin, Sly, Bubbla Waul and several more. Take care and we'll link again real soon. Peace and Love, Sel

Oven gloves! I've passed the idea on to the Deepdene marketing department. Meanwhile the never ending saga that is 'Switzerland' continues at breakneck speed. Release now due 2012.
I missed reading your blog and now have sometime to read and it's amazing.. Thank you for every good things about Cambodia. It's not because i don't like my country but I don't know how to write it well to show about Cambodia..
Wanna hear Samuth's song? I have lots but I don't know if you like his.
Flop? Flop? The Cry No More Annual Farewell Appearance 2008 was even more haphazard than usual in spite of - wait for it - a brief rehearsal. I use the word 'rehearsal' loosely, 'brief' is about right.
