It has been described as Wales’ largest science festival, with a series of themed zones to delight and educate. Our KATT has been described as unforgettable! #8FootRobotCat.

We made our annual return to The Swansea Science Festival on Sunday 4^th November at the National Waterfront Museum with Mascot the Robot Dog and our 8 Foot Robot Cat. The new Roboteers were Corey Perrett and Ollie Edwards.

Ethan Gray provided an important role in the set up 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 show 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.

This has been our third year and we are looking forward to next years’ event. We would like to give a special thanks to Sian Jones, Events and Engagement Officer and all the staff of the National Waterfront Museum, and 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.

There was, of course, our Annual Tetrathlon Ball, a change of venue from Chepstow Racecourse to this year’s venue, at Hereford Racecourse.

We are always mindful for safety and due to a drink spillage, Corey and myself had to do some maintenance in the early hours of the morning to ensure that everything was working properly and safely for the following night’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 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.

DJ Diamond Dust in Roath, Cardiff

On the disco front in Cardiff, we had a Wedding Disco at   Roath Sports and Social Club, Cardiff, a girl’s Birthday Party at the Powerhouse Hall, Cardiff, and Teenage Disco at the Collen Arms, Porth, near 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 and they always welcoming.  In Gowerton, we did a birthday disco and the Conservative Club, in Gowerton, playing loads of requests from the 190’s 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. I

DJ in Tenby

A return to our regular Summer venue, i.e., New Minerton Holiday Park, Tenby, where 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.

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!

Introducing a new DJ to Diamond Dust is Llian Davies, continuing the family tradition of DJ’s from her brothers, Dewi and Stephan.

Actually, she helped on a disco in Swansea with us a while ago. She did such a great job as a DJ, at a friend birthday party, in Swansea that we decided to ask her to join the team.

Wedding DJ

We have had a few weddings this month including on at the Paul Lewis Centre, St Athan, near Cardiff, and welcomed return to Sylen Lakes, Five Roads, near Llanelli.

 Party DJ

There has been a series of Cardiff discos at Cardiff Metropolitan University for Foreign Students, playing loads of requests of music from Italy, Palestine and China. We discovered loads of international tunes.

 We had a 40^th birthday party Queens RFC Club, Pembroke Dock. There was quite a great deal of requests for Country Music and Line dancing and 70’s & 80’s rock music.

This season of Year 6 Leavers Prom included parties at Glyn Clydach Coach House and Mumbles Cricket Club. The first party was mainly chart music and cheesy disco hits, while the second one was charts and rock and 60’s as this was needed for the parents and grandparents.
