Ethan shows him how to run the music. Kelly types out all the names of Year 6 on the LED display to  congratulate the leavers on their achievements and wishing them luck to the “Big School”. They are brilliant at their dance routines.

Teenage Party DJ – Even The Parents Had A Great Time!

Written by   in 

Teenage Party DJ made sure that it is a full works disco with UV lighting, smoke machine and a new laser effect. As a result of  attention to play requests, chart hits, and some cheesy songs to keep the party moving. Indeed, everyone had a brilliant time, the teenagers, us and the parents. To make it even better they were on their mobile phones, as usual, and found out that Wales won that night!

DJ in Swansea – We were given a bag full of CD’s to play from the list of music for the night – June 2016

Written by   in 

Certainly, a different type of disco here for a DJ in Swansea.  Specifically Tom and I to specifically DJ off a  playlist for the whole night using only CDs.  We don’t have the specialist music.

DJ in Swansea, Martin  using CD's at Purple Badger, Llanrhidian. June 2016

As a matter of fact: Northern Soul, as well as specific music.  In contrast not all classic chart hits of the 70s.

We were given a bag full of CD’s to play from the list of music for the night. A few songs from the laptop. We’re fortunate to have a professional CD player in on our system.  In contrast, not many DJs do these days. With this in mind, if the CD player broke down, we would be in trouble.  On the positive side, the great hospitality. In particular, exceptional chicken curry!

Children’s Entertainer in Llanelli – Good Lively Audience

Written by   in 

I was working as a children’s entertainer in Llanelli. Llangennech Community Centre has excellent facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a lively birthday party. They were a responsive audience. DJ Ethan keeps them dancing.

The children were delighted with the music, eagerly participating in the games and activities. Their enthusiasm for the magic show was palpable, and they were enchanted by the balloon modelling. Mascot the Robot Dog also left them in awe.

Additionally, we’ve hosted numerous children’s parties at the Glenalla and Lakefield Community Centres in Llanelli.

Children’s Entertainer In Neath With A Bigger Lightshow.

Written by   in 

As a Children’s Entertainer in Neath, we hosted a party in Cwmgwrach village for an 8th birthday celebration. It was the perfect opportunity to test a larger light show.

Bearing this in mind, we introduced a new backdrop for our wedding discos. It was beneficial to trial this setup, as it allowed us to become accustomed to its assembly and enhance the visual appeal of our performances.
