RECORDING CAMBODIA: LAUNCHING YELLOW SUBMARINE STUDIOS IN KAMPOT, CAMBODIA
RECORDING CAMBODIA: LAUNCHING YELLOW SUBMARINE STUDIOS AT FICAC Back to the future – part one It’s a strange but sensational feeling sitting here, masked up and fully vaxxed, killing time in a coffee shop in Changi while waiting to board a flight back into Phnom Penh, and in many ways, back to the future. There’s […]
