What Electricity?

Kris had a massive task ahead of her; to organise and perfectly execute an ‘electricity free’ party. It would require lateral thinking, creative ideas and most importantly, the cooperation of her guests. Worried that it was a little too left wing, she became determined to throw the best party of the year, and kick it to her cynical guests at the same time.
First and foremost was music. All guests were asked to bring an instrument of their own, from guitars to maracas to create their own musical mess. Luckily enough, there were a plethora of musicians on the guest-list, who are always ready and willing to provide some sweet sounds.
Second was lighting, and what better to create the ambience than 100% beeswax candles? They would burn all night, and last a lot longer than her guests.
Third? Food. Glorious food; this would take some preparation. Guests were served with old-school fairy bread, smoked salmon and dill canapés, corn fritters and a chocolate mud cake that was devoured within two minutes of its arrival.
Cup, plates, knives and forks took the form of bamboo. Not only are they reusable, but are completely biodegradable. Buckets of ice framed the backyard, as did recycled wine crates for benches and vintage chairs.
The early hours of the morning provided an ideal picture: smiling faces in a circle, faces lit up by candle light, all clutching their instruments and singing (some not so well) playful melodies and harmonies. Perfect.
Not only was it the party the best of the year, but everyone there learnt something. They learnt to think outside the square, to question, and that when we come together, beautiful moments can be created.

Sounds like it was a great shin-dig! Maybe I will bring that idea to Spain
