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 been cooler, thankfully, so has made the moving and setting up of sound and lighting equipment much easier. There’s been a change in crew which line of some of the crew – some new guys coming in and still keeping in touch with long term friends, who will always be family.

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 actually 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!
