There was a Halloween Children Disco at West House Public House near Bridgend.

We have had loads of birthday parties. We were DJs at an 18^th Birthday Party DJ at Bonymaen RFC, Swansea and Tonna RFC, Neath. DJ Diamond Dust attended a 13-year-old disco at Skewen Memorial Hall. There was a 21st Birthday Party at Cefn Athletic Club, Kenfig Hill.

What a fantastic month for the DJ Party crew!

Ethan, Corey, Llian and I were working as Wedding DJs. We have all been to  at the Aberavon Beach Hotel, Port Talbot and the Celtic Club, Maesteg.

We have been Birthday Party DJs at a variety of venues:

• a 40th fancy dress disco at White Tips Stadium
• Treforest RFC, Pontypridd
• Two 18^th birthdays, one at the District Club, Pontypridd, and the other at Tonna RFC, Neath.

Ethan and I have been DJs in Cardiff at Harlequins RFC, Cardiff. It was back by popular demand for a local year 12 teenage disco.

We have had a fair share of children’s birthday parties. First at Landore Social Club, Swansea. Secondly at the Llanwrda Village Hall, Llandovery. Finally, a birthday party at Cwmllynfell Hall, Ammanford.

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

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!

Our Party DJ team is 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. It 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. Others still keeping in touch as long term friends. We consider them family.

DJ in Cardiff

On the disco front in Cardiff, we had:

• a wedding disco at Roath Sports and Social Club
• a girl’s birthday party at the Powerhouse Hall
• a teenage disco at the Collen Arms, Porth

DJ in Swansea

We travelled to  the city of Swansea for a regular customer. The  80^th Birthday Party was in 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. We played 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.

We worked in Whitland Memorial Hall for a 7^th birthday Party. This not 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!

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

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

Wedding DJ

We have had one wedding disco at the Paul Lewis Centre, St Athan. Then a welcomed return to Sylen Lakes in  Llanelli.

Party DJ

There has been a series of Cardiff discos at Cardiff Metropolitan University. They were for Foreign Students 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. We were asked to play 70s & 80s rock music too!

This season of Year 6 Leavers Prom included parties at Glyn Clydach Coach House and Mumbles Cricket Club. First party was mainly new music and cheesy disco hits. The second one had more variety because we could play charts, rock music and songs from the 60s.

Children’s Entertainment

We are continuing with our regular summer visits to New Minerton Holiday Park with children’s entertainment. Our booking at Hafod community centre included Mascot the Robot Dog. Martin performed magic, balloon modelling and used our ever popular play parachute.

Our annual Outdoor Road Show at Abergwili Carnival. This year we, primarily, provided the  PA or sound system. We did for background music and commentary. I made announcements, including judging of carnival, rose and fairy queens. Our crew called out for lost children, raffles, competitions. I even introduced the band.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here are a couple of thousand words. As a Party DJ team, we have done prom disco in the Brangwyn Hall. It is the biggest, most prestigious venue in Swansea.

Most of our wedding discos have been in South Wales.

They include the West Usk Lighthouse, Newport, and The Giltar Hotel, Tenby.

We have been round the corner at The Smith’s Arms in Neath Abbey.

We had been DJ’s in the Swansea area which were, in Langland Golf Club, and at Morriston RFC.

DJ Diamond Dust has travelled to Haverfordwest to do a 40^th Birthday Party at The Railway Inn.

We are still doing children’s discos. This time it was an under 6’s Football presentation night. To complete the night with games and Mascot the Robot Dog.

Quite a bit of travelling and a variety of bookings!

We are making preparations for the summer and have entirely of few interesting ones ahead!

It has been a month for our Party DJ team, mainly weddings and teenage discos. The discos have included a wedding party at the Glyngynwydd Cottages and Wedding Barn, Llanidloes, and a wedding disco at Broadway House, Laugharne.

On the way to these venues,  we got to go sightseeing. We saw Laugharne Castle, Dylan Thomas’s Boathouse,  the Royal Welsh Showground and the River Wye. We’ve gigged at all points of the compass despite a few cancellations and postponed bookings due to the snow.

We have done two teenage parties. We had a regular youth disco at Cardiff Harlequins RFC. The other was a 19^th birthday party in the Dragon Hotel in Swansea city centre.

There have been a few birthday parties including 60^th Birthday Party at Samlet Social Club, Swansea. Another one was a 40^th birthday party at Embassy Social Club, Swansea.

Our birthday party DJs have even been working at a 6-year-old birthday party at the Gathering Place, St Athan.

Spring is on its way, and with a bit of luck, we might have seen the last of the snow. Perhaps we can wish for more sun, now that the clocks have moved forward and the days are getting longer! As the weather improves, we hope to travel more and enjoy meeting more people, venues and events!

This month our Party DJ team has worked at:

• a  Teenage Disco at Cardiff Harlequins  RFC
• an Annual Ball at Halfway Inn,  Nantgaredig, Carmarthen
• a children’s birthday party at Milford Haven RFC
• Our regular children’s disco at Longford Memorial Hall, Skewen, Neath.

Here is the YouTube Video of the latest Cardiff Disco from our Channel DJ Diamond Dust. I hope you like it!

I was going to update the Party DJ blog next weekend; but realised that next month, we would have started March! A few weeks later, it will be British Summer Time, and another school holiday begins. Where has all the time gone?

It’s been quieter this month,  what with the run down after Christmas, and this being the first school holiday after that. The days are getting longer; but not necessarily warmer. The extra daylight has given us the time to revamp and update the lighting systems of the show and get some repairs done.

The first time in a while that we have had a run of dry weather. All goes well; it will be time to get the robots out — time to do some test runs. Before we realise,  it will be time for some Science Roadshows.

Friday 26^th January 2018 – I had a wonderful time at Model Church in Wales Primary School, Carmarthen. The Year 6 pupils were enthusiastic about the story of my 8-Foot-Robot-Cat. They asked some brilliant questions. 

They were enthusiastic and enjoyed the PowerPoint presentation. They appreciated examining the robot claw.

Lessons like this help in the promotion of STEM and Science in schools.  A special thanks to the teaching staff for their support.

Diamond Dust is now on the Resources Bank for teachers and schools.

Party DJ Review of 2017

Party DJ Diamond Dust, mobile discos serving Swansea, Cardiff and the South Wales region, has had a successful and eventful 2017.

Kelly Jack Roberts:

DJ Kelly Jack Roberts at Bryncoch RFC

2017 has been amazing. It will be my second year with DJ Diamond Dust, and it’s been amazing yet again. It’s been phenomenal the amount of fun I have had, the new skills I have learned, and meeting some fantastic new people.

The three gigs that I had to pick to be my favourite from 2017 are:

• Bryncoch RFC (Birthday party and Christmas party)
• Ynystawe Cricket Club (Children’s Christmas Party)
• Tonna RFC (Birthday party)

I cannot wait for 2018 brings for the team and me. I would also like to thank Martin for allowing me to do this.

Martin Thompson:

It has been quite a mixed bag of gigs. Our DJ Party team attended The Discovery Pub in Cardiff and Castlemead Hotel in Tenby. Tom and I have done a wedding disco at Beggar’s Reach, Milford Haven.

We’ve done children’s parties in Llandaff North Community Centre, Cardiff and New Minerton Holiday Park, Tenby.

We’ve worked at annual dinner in Chepstow Racecourse and a few Christmas parties at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

Our 8-Foot-Robot-Cat has visited a few exciting venues including a day at Waterfront Museum, Swansea – Festival of Science week.

I have an amazing, kind and hardworking team. I can say that without my crew, a great deal of what has happened this year would not have been possible. Thank you guys, and thanks to you to our new and regular customers!

 Ethan Gray:

It’s that time of the year again! If I had to summarise this year with a word – it would have to be fantastic! This year has an eye opener and helped me massively with my confidence and becoming a better person.

Also, throughout the year, I’ve learnt many new vital skills that will help me in my later life. This year has also increased my skills because I’ve been doing a lot more gigs. This has made me a better DJ and worker.

Not many people can say they are a DJ throughout their teenage and adult years! It’s a dream job.

We’ve had some outstanding gigs this year with some unique venues and guests. If I had to pick three parties that I have attended, it would have to be Chepstow Racecourse. Then the Liberty Stadium and Longford Memorial Hall.

Finally, I would like to thank Martin for allowing me to enjoy this job as much as I do. For also letting me be a part of this great group of people! Let’s hope 2018 is just as good as in 2017. I can’t wait to see what skills and incredible places we will visit bring in 2018!

Tom Hyatt:

Well, 2017 certainly didn’t disappoint with there being plenty of several gigs.

I left my full-time duties in August last year. I was sad to meet different people no longer and play different music nearly every weekend. But that did not mean that I was no longer part of the Diamond Dust Crew.

Throughout 2017 I continued to work alongside Martin at Wedding functions, birthday parties and (my favourite) work party. The best part of it all was the fact I never got bored during any of the gigs last year.

If I were to pick my favourite gig of 2017, without doubt, it would be Joe’s Ice Cream works do. It was at the Liberty Stadium on Black Friday. Nearly every branch in Wales, including the factory workers, turned up.

The reason this was my favourite gig was down to the fact that the crowd was so energetic from beginning to end.  It was the only gig last year when all the Diamond Dust Crew were together to provide the best service possible.

I look forward to continuing working with Diamond Dust during 2018.  We look forward to seeing you in a nearby gig.

Tom Hyatt

Swansea and Neath Party DJ in January

We have had some bookings in January. One children’s birthday party in Maesycwmmer Community Centre. There were two surprise birthday parties.

One in Pontyates RFC and another in Aberavon Green Stars RFC. Finally, we did  a 60th birthday in New Dock Stars RFC in Llanelli.
