The more exotic, the more popular...and it seems to me that what makes it in the art fields is not about talent as much as popularity.seekingmyLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242380845994448311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-8060459243347034222011-11-05T14:18:03.404-07:002011-11-05T14:18:03.404-07:00Ooh, how odd!

I don't think Star should head to London any time soon, because all you say here applies to us in England too!Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-29208693590674168182011-11-03T21:50:40.024-07:002011-11-03T21:50:40.024-07:00Yes, I think unless we're talking charity, a c...Yes, I think unless we're talking charity, a country's money should be spent IN that country.

She knows if she wants continual work she'll have to head overseas. Now I'm all for travel for the experience but no~one should <i>have</i> to go just in order to practise their craft at the top levels. And unnecessary. We are quite capable of creating the sort of stimulating & creative environment in which artists thrive. It makes my blood boil. And it's hard being so far from home & family. There are all sorts of hidden costs & the whole living in a different culture thing. So unnecessary.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-39712616140812500712011-11-03T17:48:38.679-07:002011-11-03T17:48:38.679-07:00Well, I was actually watching a tv doco a few week...Well, I was actually watching a tv doco a few weeks ago about all these great musicians from Australia who are now working in overseas orchestras, what a shame! you are right,making it more affordable would certainly help improve our society:) we certainly dont go to a whole lot just because of the cost! <br />btw, never knew the source of that term 'the lucky country' well, you've educated me today on that one:)Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.com
