KEATING TO PLAY CAMBODIA

Irish pop star RONAN KEATING will make history when he performs in Cambodia next month (May07) - the concert will be the nation's first ever by a major international act. The former Boyzone singer will play to tens of thousands of fans in Phnom Penh's Olympic Stadium, as part of a three-date Asian tour, which Cambodian officials hope will boost tourism in the country. Kevin Kouch, senior producer at the Cambodian Television Network, which is sponsoring the event, says, "It's our first time (hosting a headline act). It will be a big success." Cambodian culture official Mom Suth adds, "We hope the group will spread information regarding our culture and tourist potential to the rest of the world."
