The British Pyromusical championships started with a BANG last night as the competition got under way.
The event sees seven of the best pyrotechnic teams in the UK battle it out to be the best in the UK in this much anticipated annual event.
Over three nights, teams compete to be the best by choreographing fireworks to music. Points are awarded for the music, the correlation between the pyro and the music and the timing. Over the three nights, two tonnes of explosive material will be used throughout the competition, which runs until tomorrow
Competing teams for 2012 are as follows:
• SALTAIRE FIREWORKS
• G-FORCE FIREWORKS
• KOMODO FIREWORKS
• HIGHLIGHT PYROTECHNICS
• BRITANNIA FIREWORKS
• PHENOMENAL FIREWORKS
• CELEBRATION FIREWORKS
Last year’s winners were Pyrotex who completely thrilled the crowd with a stunning display choreographed to the music from a number of different genre.
Last night’s show kicked off with Saltaire Fireworks and the initial reports were that Nessie was brilliant as a fire breathing moving piece of art made its way across the lake.
Tickets on the gate are £9.00 for Saturday and £7.00 for Sunday. Children under 5 are FREE. Details are available directly from the Southport Visitor information desk at www.visitsouthport.com or via their Facebook page www.facebook.com/visitsouthport
If you do manage to capture any images, if you would like to let us see them, we would be delighted. Sadly, we are too busy at work to venture out at the moment but keeping an eye on the happenings online.

Southport 2012. The Home of the British Musical Firework Championships
We are delighted to learn that the British Musical Championships have been confirmed by Sefton Council. The event from Friday 28th September 2012 to Sunday 30th September 2012 starts at 7.00pm and the display gets under way at 7.30pm.
September is a great time of the year to hold these displays as unlike at the peak of the season when other events are taking place, like the famous Southport Flower Show, The Olympic Torch relay and the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The only thing which could impact on the event is the tide as a low tide will be required to accommodate the crowds and stalls on the beach.
Being held once again this year at Kings Gardens, this 3-night competition will feature some jaw dropping displays from some of the best pyro specialists in the UK today. All displays must be synchronised to music and will last in the region of 20-minutes each.
The teams competing this year are as follows:
• G-Force Fireworks
• Saltaire Fireworks
• Komodo Fireworks
• Highlight Pyrotechnics
• Britannia Fireworks
• Phenomenal Fireworks
• Celebration Fireworks
The winner of this prestigious event in both 2010 and 2011 was Pyrotex Fireworx in front of crowds in excess of 40,000. Having 25-years of fireworks experience and using the ‘Fireone’ digital firing system in conjunction with ‘Scriptmaker’ the worlds first choreography software. The display in 2011 was reported to be the finest display with timing un-equalled in the rest of the world.
