You’ll have no doubt noticed that at most professional firework displays, whether it be Bonfire night fireworks, New Years fireworks, fireworks for a wedding or local festival, many displays are accompanied by music.

But it doesn’t just have to be the pros that make celebration fireworks that bit more special; there’s nothing to stop you doing the same with your garden display. So you might not have the pro firing systems linked to your perfectly timed music but you can still have a bit of fun planning a domestic display accompanied with some suitable tunes!

On our website you can not only buy fireworks online (and have them delivered to your door) but we also provide videos and timings so, if you want to, you can really get down into the detail when planning your big display. By being able to visualise the effect you’re getting, as well as know how long all the products last, you can put together an appropriate, timed soundtrack to go alongside.

But what’s the best music to use? Like most things it’s up to personal preference. Most go for either a combination of classical pieces and film soundtracks while other opt for the more modern pop/rock mix. To get those creative juices flowing here are a few favourites amongst the Stealth Fireworks team:
