It’s always nice dealing with nice people. It’s one of the joys of running your own company in fact. And working in fireworks more often than not you’re dealing with a celebration. Don’t get me wrong, we do our share of putting people’s ashes up in rockets, but even at those events the feeling is generally more one of a “celebration of life” than a more traditional funeral or service of commemoration. But I digress. What I was going to [...]
When you can’t feel the ends of your fingers it’s difficult to fuse quickly. When the grass is so hard you can’t bang a peg into the ground to attach the fireworks to you have to find alternative rigging methods. Those two things I knew – we’ve been doing this for 15+ years and we’ve had some cold winters. What I had never come across before was a situation where the mercury drops to -10 and the PA system got [...]
We’ve worked with Emma and the team at ADL for several years now. Originally they had a November event with a big bonfire and hog roast, but after consecutive years of miserable weather they decided they needed a different excuse for fireworks (not that you really need an excuse, do you?) – and so the ADL Summer Ball was conceived.

Our firework displays take us all over the UK – and occasionally abroad – and we’ve seen many places that we would never otherwise have the opportunity or time to visit. However every now and again it is nice to have a display close to home, like this one at Sopwell House in St Albans, Hertfordshire. I remember going to Sopwell as a young lad for special family occasions and meeting the Manchester United team there (you just need to [...]
Beefeater 24 Product Launch Fireworks Display, Syon Park, London Lost Vagueness are masters of the decadent party, (as hundreds of thousands of Glastonbury revellers over the years will tell you), so we were delighted when founder Roy Gurvitz asked us to create a choreographed firework display – complete with a huge lancework logo – to music for a corporate event in London to mark the UK launch of Beefeater’s new 24 gin brand. The venue was Syon Park in West [...]
Glenmorangie Burns Night Dinner 2010, Whatley Manor I’ve never been much of a whisky drinker, and I think I’ve only ever had haggis once, so it was good to experience a proper Burns Night, albeit this one was in Wiltshire (at the amazing Whatley Manor) rather than Scotland. The event was organised by Glenmorangie and Alchemy were commissioned to come up with a 5 minute quiet firework display choreographed to music by Scottish performers. It was a beautiful crisp and [...]
