Epic Fireworks new range for 2010 just keeps getting bigger and better. This latest release is another to ensure we have plenty long duration fireworks to keep your party banging all night long.

Crescendo has 105 shots of brilliant mixed effects and beautiful comet tails that spin and crackle as they rise into the night sky. Of course the video we have for you here is not quite a night sky, it was a bit early in the evening when we tested this one in China, but we feel that its good enough to give you an idea of what the Cresendo will do.

Heres the review:

Epic Fireworks presents the Crescendo, 105 shots of brilliant loud bangs and crackles, accompanied by beautiful violet and blue mines with silver strobing stars. Crackling comet tails rise into large multicoloured chrysanthemums with green, red and silver stars and clouds of crackling gold. With a whopping duration of almost 1 minute 15 seconds this is a fantastic single ignition barrage with a steady and busy performance throughout.

Brand new release for 2010 to be hitting the shelves at Epic Fireworks this summer.

The Angels vs Demons is already one of our most talked about new fireworks and has received a warm welcome on Youtube. We hope you all like it too. Here is the video for your approval. The artwork for this new barrage is still under wraps but rest assured it will have the usual Epic stylings.

Last year we talked to many of you in our showroom and indeed through forums like the UKFR and through comments on Youtube.

We learned that you guys want fast crazy and insane looking fireworks, we are sure that you will agree that the Angels Vs Demons delivers on all counts.

Heres the review:

One of the hottest new releases from Epic Fireworks for 2010; Angels Vs Demons has a simple effect of spinning golden dragons tails to large brocades and slow falling golden glitter. Sounds a bit plain? Don’t be fooled! This barrage has 70 shots of large calibre angled tubes that fan across the sky giving a rapid and dazzling display of spinning golden lights that are mesmerising. This is surely going to be one of our biggest sellers of the year. You seen it here first!

Epic Fireworks has certainly got some of the most beautiful fan barrages on the market, Momentum is no exception. This amazingly timed piece of sky art has gorgeous golden red palms that explode with blue stars and falling strands of red and white glitter. Launching 5 shots at a time the spread across the sky is superb. The timing is perfect and this is a great barrage to get ooohs and aaaahs from the crowd.

This is Fresh! Brand new fireworks coming into the UK for 2010. The Venus Sky Trap will soon be on British shores and you can guarantee it will be a very popular one very quickly. With awesome bright colours of red, silver, blue and green and dazzling crackling clouds of gold, silver glitter and huge silver palms, this is a beautiful firework and a great contribution to any display. Just one of the new exciting range of fireworks to expect from Epic this year.

Heres the review:

Here at Epic Fireworks we never stop looking for new and innovative designs in fireworks to impress you and the spectators at your displays.

The Venus Sky Trap is surely one of the most beautiful new fireworks to be launched in 2010. Awesome fanned volleys of huge red peonies come from ascending red stars that turn into slow falling silver strobes. Massive golden palms with blue stars absolutely fill the sky before huge white bouquets erupt and red and green crackling flowers lead to brilliant clouds of golden crackles; magnificent.

Epic Fireworks, the UKs home of fireworks.

We know it is a bit delayed but here are the photos from when lucky competition winner Carol and her pyro-mad husband Brian came down to Epic Fireworks to collect their mountain of free fireworks.

When asked how she felt Carol replied “it feels brilliant”

When Brian was asked how he felt he stuttered “fireworks….free fireworks…loads of free fireworks” while attempting not to drool at the massive pile of fireworks which lay before him. Careful Brian, don’t get those fuses wet!

We were left with the feeling that this lovely couple from the East Coast of Scotland were going to have a brilliant time setting off their hand selected fireworks display.

With sandwiches and coffee (no champagne, Brian had to drive home again) and laughter all round we all posed for some photos around the giant trolley load of fireworks.

Handsome Scottish salesman Graeme was on hand as always to offer free advice on how best to set off the fireworks. He said, “I would use a lighter of some description”, helpful advice indeed. Just kidding of course, portfires and safety goggles are always supplied as standard at Epic Fireworks.

Brian was heard to say “Epic Fireworks are by far and away the best fireworks that I have ever had and I would heartily recommend them to anyone. They certainly leave the competition standing when it comes to performance, price and service. We drive down from Scotland at least twice a year to see the guys and it is always well worth the trip” – Citation needed.

Carol was thrilled to bits with her prize and you could have been too! It’s so easy to enter Epic Fireworks annual fireworks prize draw giveaway bonanza. Simply enter your details online at our website www.epicfireworks.com for your chance to win £4,000 worth of premium rate pyro!!!

We helped Brian to load his (and Carols) fireworks into his van, ready for the long drive home where we know he (and Carol) will have great fun setting them off.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who entered our free prize draw last year and we are sorry there can only be one winner. But what a lovely winner she was and we thank Carol and Brian for taking the time to come down and visit us and we look forward to seeing them again soon.

MPs were last night accused of ‘insensitivity’ for throwing a private New Year’s Eve party on the Commons river terrace – so they can watch a spectacular end-of the decade fireworks show.

After a year of scandals over their expenses, 340 MPs, peers and their guests are paying £10 a head for an exclusive celebration in the shadow of Big Ben.

As thousands of ordinary revellers in Central London stand shivering in the cold to bring in the New Year, MPs will bid farewell to 2009 by gathering in a marquee across the river from the free London Eye fireworks show.

The MPs, peers and some senior bureaucrats will be served by catering staff with canapes and drinks including champagne.

Professional party organisers said the market rate for a ticket to such a unique event would be closer to £100 a head.

The ‘Noughtie MPs’ bash, approved by Commons Speaker John Bercow, has sparked anger among parliamentary officials, secretaries and manual workers, who have been banned from the terrace on New Year’s Eve –one of their few annual perks – to make way for the partying politicians.

‘They’ll be lucky if the whole bill for the evening is under £3,000,’ said one official. ‘After all their antics this year, having a knees-up like this is the height of insensitivity-You’d think they’d be keeping their heads down.’

Mr Bercow says the party will raise money for charity, but one member of the Commons staff said: ‘If they want to give money to charity they can write a cheque out for ten quid any time they like.’

Traditionally, MPs are back in their constituencies by December 31.

Suspicions about an event for them were aroused last week after staff were sent a memo by Serjeantat-Arms Jill Pay banning them from entering the building from 6pm on New Year’s Eve.

The memo said access would be ‘restricted to Members of both Houses, their escorted guests and duty staff only’.

Then invitations were seen that declared: ‘The Pavilion will open from 10pm until

12.30am, providing Members and their guests with an excellent view of the public fireworks display over the Thames whilst they welcome in the New Year.’

A spokesman for Mr Bercow says the event will make a £2,000 profit, after staff costs, for Help A London Child. MPs would get one drink in the ticket price and then pay normal ‘ commercial’ prices for bottled beer, wine and champagne – not the taxpayer-subsidised rates they usually paid.

But Commons insiders disputed the figures.

They claimed the cost of 15 staff paid £16 an hour doublerate overtime for up to six hours each would be over £1,400. In addition, they have been promised taxis home for up to £30 – a total of £450.

Mr Bercow’s spokesman last night said the party would raise money for a good cause. Click here for the full story.
