Department of Mutual Support:  Friends of LengPleng

This week we welcome yet another Friend of LengPleng, former owner/operator of Star Bar in Siem Reap, Tim Scott.  “Let’s ensure that live music continues to thrive and that local artists and venues can afford to create and share their art,” says Tim.

Being a Friend of LengPleng is open to venues, acts, and even private individuals; if you value the service we provide please consider assisting us financially.   For a modest contribution ($25 for three months, $40 for six months, $75 for 12 months), you get the logo of your choice into the weekly email and onto the weekly wrap page, and an automatically click through to a page on our website for further information, photos, videos and so on – we like to think of it as an alternative to Facebook.

We also pay special attention when you have a good story for us – an upcoming event or an artist you wish to highlight.  Email gigs@lengpleng.com for further details or bail up Scoddy wherever you see him.

See you around the traps.
