The client said it, the venue manager said it and there was no other word for it! Last night's big show at Hampton Court prompted the same adjective from everyone we spoke to. Choreographed to a soundtrack of contemporary classics, including I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas and Rule the World by Take That, the show crackled with class. Our client, a multi-national company celebrating a recent merger, wanted something special with which to impress the 500 guests. We illuminated the fountain by the Long Water, lit up the sky with our powerful, multibeam searchlight, and provided guests with the warm glow of two Olympic style 'flambaux' flames on arrival. After dinner they returned outside for the big finish, a 7-minute display which sparkled with style and pezazz. Giant flames hissed into the sky as Bjork sang Shhh...it's so Quiet, then a volley of shell bursts shattered the silence. This sequence drew a round of applause before the show drew to a tumultous close with Rule the World and a sky full of gold. A-mazing! Show credits: Design, Ian Woodroof. Senior Firer, Paul Roberts.
