High quality, memorable entertainment
We have been working with Jay Gatling for just under a year and he has been one of the finest master of ceremonies i have ever seen.
He has given our wrestling shows an injection of life, fun and professionalism. His crowd interaction is a wonder to behold, a man who talks to a crowd not at them. He has taken a ‘minor’ role, grown it and made it all his own, he is a valued asset to our wrestling shows and wish not to see one without him.

The week after the Extravaganza, we performed at the Conwy Pirate Weekend.
This was the second year that the event has been held, and it was lovely to take part again.
We were working alongside Harley the Clown and Roslyn Walker, and as usual we had a great time with them.
They got up to all sorts of hi-jinx, including balancing some interesting things on their chins!
We also saw Tom Mason and the Blue Buccaneers, with their amazing songs from the golden era of pirates.
Unfortunately, the weather for both days of the Pirate Weekend was rather awful.
It was cold and wet, raining on and off for most of the two days.
But lots of people braved the rain, and everyone seemed to have a good time despite the weather.
We got soaked, but we had a brilliant time, and we can’t wait for next year’s event!

We’ve just finished two weekends of street magic, and they couldn’t have been more different.
Firstly, we took part in the annual Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza. It’s a three day event that fills the streets with rides and attractions, and brings the town centre to a standstill.
Early in the morning, the streets were almost deserted, but things soon got busier as all the visitors arrived.
We spent most of the time walking around the Extravaganza, performing close up magic for people in the street, and posing for them to take photographs.
Each day, we did one show on the promenade stage – our Mystic Emporium show. It was the first outing for the Mystic Emporium on a stage, with a performance specially designed for outdoor work.
Then we joined in the daily parade around the town, with Kevin the bird and Trix the dog.
It was a little chilly first thing on Saturday morning, and it rained for a short while, but the rest of the weekend was lovely and hot with some glorious sunshine.
We had a great time, but wearing heavy Victorian costumes in bright sun got rather warm!
A huge thank you to the Official Photographer of the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza, Robert Mann, for letting us use his wonderful images. You can see the whole set of photographs by clicking here.
The weekend after the Extravaganza we were at another outdoor event, but the weather was a complete contrast. Find out all about it in Part Two, coming soon!
Conwy County Wrestling Academy will be back in Conwy Civic Hall on Saturday the 1st of June with their Super 8 Tournament, and Jay will be Ring Announcer for them once again.
