The eyes of the world will be on Blackpool for this and competition will be fierce. The first to perform will be Frances Focus Pyro who hope to dazzle the tens of thousands of spectators who line the promenades to witness the best in the world battle it out.

Pyro – Musical has become an artform in and of itself, honing their skills, the competitors will hope to touch the audience emotionally and use the music and the fireworks harmoniously.

“Music and fireworks go together beautifully, when the timing is just right and the mood and feel of the musical piece matches the visual display in the sky, the audience responds and the whole becomes much greater than the sum of its parts. There is an acceptance of togetherness between spectator, music and pyrotechnic which can be overwhelming.” – Graeme Connelly, pyro musical aficionado.
