I'm not patronising you.
I, personally, have not been exposed to the downside of it.

It begs the question, though: "Why fly a guy from Denmark (or Norway), put him up in a decent B&B, feed him, give him a decent enough fee, and fly him back, when there's a similar artist living 50 miles away?"

And to be willing to do this every 9 weeks?

Beats me....
