A blast from the past now by Standard Fireworks.

The Annual Gala barrage is now on sale at Epic Fireworks. This classic barrage was popular back in the early days of single ignitions and is still capable of impressing with its wide variety of effects.

With a long duration (1 minute 15 seconds) and the very respectable price of just £14.95 this should be a popular seller during this years silly season.

The best part for us was the little clusters of blue stars and accompanying silver fish. This is always a popular effect and blue and silver is a great colour combination as can be seen here in Dhillon and Barry’s bonfire night display. The guys mixed the Cobolt Blue with the Magneto barrage and the effect was brilliant.

But back to the Annual Gala, this is a small but effective barrage and one of the earlier “display in a box” fireworks that the were introduced in their droves in the UK after the Millenium. With Silver tails, glittering peonies, red and green stars, strobing, whistling tails, silver palms, crackles and those brilliant silver flying fish, it is easy to see why this has remained popular for so many years.

There are very few of these left in existence in Britain and they are sure to be in high demand. So get yourself down to Epic Fireworks (J36 off the M1) and grab yours today!!

Here is a fantastic image of an old fireworks poster. This shows many classic items that some of you may remember from your childhood, such as Mine of Serpents, Snow Storm, Robot Signals (the old name for traffic lights), Jack in the Box, Guy Fawkes Barrel and many many more. You can see them in more detail by clicking the image which will take you to the Epic Fireworks Flickr pages, you can then zoom in and see them in all their glory.

Fireworks packaging has always been important and the bright colours and interesting designs are definately part of what sells a firework. This is still true today, however with the advancement of the internet and the ability to see videos of fireworks before you buy them, the packaging and labelling have become less important and the quality of effect has taken the first place as the most important thing people look for when buying fireworks.

It’s just as well that Epic Fireworks continues to be the UKs leading supplier of high end pyrotechnics. We never compromise on quality and believe that every firework you buy should be the very best possible. Thats why we have hundreds of videos of fireworks on Youtube for you to compare and our website is always kept up to date with our latest barrages and rockets, wheels and fountains, and mines and roman candles, so you know you are buying the best.

The legendary Mammoth Conic Fountain from Standard Fireworks. This is an old favourite and most people who have used large fountains at some point in the past will have used this fountain.

It is a classic 1kg fountain with silver cascades of light that will illuminate your garden or anywhere you use them.The approximate reach of the fountain at its highest is about 6 Metres.

If you thought that was high just watch this space for Epic Fireworks new fountains for this year. We plan to take the UK by storm releasing a fountain that will make this one look like fart from an ant-hill. We cannot give away too much at this point. But suffice to say we intend to sell the biggest and best fountain in the UK. Keep an eye right here on your favourite fireworks blog for more info.

until then,  enjoy this brilliant video from Standard Fireworks!
