Well, we’re in the ’20s. A lot has happened last year. The best way of getting the latest news at the moment  is on our Facebook Pages, which are: DJ Diamond Dust with news about our DJ’s and discos Diamond Dust Children’s Entertainment all about our children’s entertainment and discos. 8 Foot Robot Cat – News about our robots including our robot dogs with science festivals, school visits, fun days and exhibitions.

We’ve spent some time as DJs in  Cardiff. This month we worked in:

• Whitehead’s Sports and Social, Bassaleg, Newport, Newport for an engagement party

We have done a family party night at New Minerton Holiday Park, Tenby. The DJ Diamond Dust team worked on a Wedding at Railmen’s Club, Swansea.

We are making sure that everyone is safe by doing our annual PAT testing. 

Corey and I were DJs in Llanelli at the Furnace RFC for an engagement party.   Tom was with me to do an engagement disco in Swansea Samlet Club. 

There was an 18^th birthday party at Resolven RFC and one at Pontardawe Golf Club too!  We had a 6-year-old birthday party at Llanelli Lawn Tennis Club.

There’s more news about our 8-Foot-Robot-Cat. See our web pages and our Facebook pages for more information.

We’re travelling a lot around Cardiff way this month.

We’ve had a teenage Valentine disco at Harlequins RFC, Cardiff, and Children’s Valentines Disco at Longford Memorial Hall, Neath Abbey.

We have done a few engagement parties at Aberdare Golf Club and Cross Keys RFC, Newport. There have been a few 18^th birthday parties at Mumbles Yacht Club, Swansea and Bonymaen RFC.

DJ Diamond Dust has appeared at Children’s birthday party at Tircoed Village Hall, Swansea. We have been to Byrd Crescent Community Centre, Cardiff, with Mascot the Robot Dog.

It has been a mixed bag of gigs from Swansea. Take a look at the Blogs.

Tom is still making appearances, bringing his brilliant microphone skills and unique mix of music to our audiences.

We have had more crew, who are Llian, Alex and Ollie. Tom took time off went on the Cruise liners, and Ethan has become the main DJ.

“My best gig of 2018 was in Mountain Ash Rugby Club. The atmosphere was amazing! We had great feedback from the people and everyone was having a great time. Overall, it was a very good gig!” Ollie.

 

I would like to thank Kelly for all his hard work. Good luck in the future!

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.

Corey is now taking a central role in our Robot Shows. Well done Corey.

Ethan Gray with Mascot the Robot Dog at the National Waterfront Museum with the Swansea Science Festival 2018

It is  Wales’ largest science festival, with a series of themed zones to delight and to educate. Our 8-Foot-Robot-Cat is said to be as unforgettable! 

We returned to The Swansea Science Festival.  Mascot the Robot Dog and our 8 Foot Robot Cat appeared on Sunday 4^th November at the National Waterfront Museum. Ethan Gray provided a vital role in the setup and transportation of the robots.

Our stand, as last year, was in the Upper Foyer (Upstairs) area of the National Waterfront Museum. You could not miss us. 

It was amazing the number of adults and children that came over to say hello….some of the others ran away!!!

It was quite something amazing to see the interest shown by teachers from Primary and Secondary school. 

Perhaps we might see you at a school near to you soon. Visit our KATT Page for more information.

It was our third year, and we are looking forward to next years’ event.

We want to give a special thanks to Sian Jones, Events and Engagement Officer, and all the staff of the National Waterfront Museum.

We are grateful to  Swansea University for all the support, kindness and hospitality they show to us during their event.

It was a privilege to work alongside other scientists and educators.
