You know what it’s like at parties. Some people pop their
heads round the door just to be polite and say hello before moving on to
another engagement, some arrive fashionably late, flirt outrageously with the
other guests and depart leaving cigarette burns in the carpet that you don’t
spot until three weeks later. A few turn up uninvited, stash their booze
in the washing machine and then stay up all night talking until the only things left to drink are those brightly-coloured bottles you got in for that fancy-dress
themed cocktail party a couple of years ago. Some people you get introduced
to for the first time in the queue for the bathroom and hit it off so well that
you wonder why you haven’t already been best friends for years. The Blue House
party has been going on for a decade now, so it is time to thank everyone who RSVP’d the
invite, brought a bottle, made a dessert or just popped in for a time while
they waited for a cab. We are Songs from The Blue House, and this is what we
do.
