DJ Diamond Dust at the Brangwyn Hall – prom 2019

One of the biggest discos we did this year was the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea. We had to use the full PA rig to cover it, what we would normally use for an outdoor event. 

The most usual wedding disco, this year was by a lighthouse in Usk. The furthest out gig was Hereford Racecourse. The most memorable disco was the foreign exchange students at the Cardiff Metropolitan University.

The KATT has the annual appearance of the Swansea Science Festival at the National Waterfront Museum. The 8-Foot-Robot-Cat worked perfectly however,  Mascot the Robot Dog was plagued with technical problems. This has been fully resolved, thank goodness.

DJ Diamond Dust doing urgent repairs in Swansea

We are always mindful about safety. One night we had a drink spillage.  Corey and I had to do some maintenance in the early hours of the morning.  We had to make sure to ensure that everything was working safely for the following day’s gig.

The adventure continues!

We seemed to be spending quite a bit of time between Cardiff and Swansea this summer, primarily with birthday parties. The last couple of weeks have not been as hot, thankfully, so has made the moving and setting up of sound and lighting equipment much more comfortable. There’s been a change in of some of the crew – some new guys coming in and still keeping in touch with long term friends, who will always be family.

DJ Diamond Dust in Roath, Cardiff

DJ in Swansea

In the city of Swansea, we travelled to Mumbles at did an 80^th Birthday Party, for a regular customer at the West Cross Inn, Mumbles, Swansea. We always have a wonderful time with them. Corey and I  did a birthday disco and the Conservative Club, in Gowerton, playing loads of requests from the 90s and quite a few Rock tracks. DJ Diamond Dust made a return visit to the Samlet Club, Swansea for a friend and former neighbour to his birthday. 

DJ in Tenby

A return to our regular Summer venue New Minerton Holiday Park, Tenby. We entertained the children with magic, balloon modelling, parachute games and the ever-popular Mascot the Robot Dog. We rounded up the night with disco.

Llian Davies at Aberavon Beach Hotel

We worked in Whitland Memorial Hall for a 7^th birthday Party, which is not far from our usual venue in Tenby. The usual routines with magic and the Robot Dog were a great success. We ran more lights and had a chance to use the smoke machine. Quite a few venues don’t allow this as more and more places have smoke detectors.

It’s been a great summer with lots of people to meet and lots of places to see. The adventure continues!
