cheers Cap'n :) massively lucky to have go involved, and the show itself was awesome from we were at the firing line. The camera that was in the audience was a bit poor, so i'll get some actual footage of the display in the air from ground zero next time! Yeah, learned loads! although its suprising how much of the knowledge used for our amateur side of things still applied here! good to hear from you buddy hope youre well

looks like a good experience man!

This is a £2000 ...

This is a £2000 display, which includes the fireworks themselves, transport, rigging fees etc. Ofcourse you can! All you need to do is contact a firing company, and see if you can come down with them on a display. They will assess whether you are a valuable asset to them, and take it from there. You dont need any qualifications as such to rig, the licensing comes in when you start purchasing and transporting the pyro yourself. remember you dont get if you dont ask! good luck

yeah its been a ...

yeah its been a while! The only reason being is that ive moved house, and my workshop is still at the old house, waiting to be transported with all my gear! it is a work in progress, but its taking longer than expected! regular service will resume sooooon! good to hear from you matey

That is so cool! ...

That is so cool! How much does it cost to put on a show like this? If I didn't have a license is there anything I could do to to help out at a show someone is putting on? I would enjoy simply operating the switchboard if nothing else. :-) Is getting a license basically like getting a college degree or is it not as intensive? I have wanted to do this kind of stuff for a while.

haha i've been ...

haha i've been waiting for any move from you =) i mean you were inactive about 3 (maybe more months) glad to see you back!

cheers Pete, ...

cheers Pete, brilliant, theres nothing quite like the satisfaction of knowing that an audience of thousands is watching your every move! although its pitch black, it feels like theres a massive spot light on you! its awesome! haha, yeah, id love to give hand firing a go, im sure the only way to replicate the adrenaline rush from that is to run around in a minefield! thanks mate, much appreciated great to hear from you
