Standing audience included Jens Hofman (Ledreborg supremo) and one fan who had come all the way from Argentina: Patricio Duran, pictured sitting patiently waiting next to the merchandise. Photographer Thomas Raa Olsen suggested the caption below:



Hey Bartender, pour me a drink

and not a small one;> cause I’m sitting here to think

Need to reflect what I have done

Anyway –  in Denmark, I’m not the only one!
