They were good last night. Didn't think much of the Disney music but the overall display was decent. The nice weather helped.

Agree - the music was lacking and also the PA system wasn't that great either. Still not fussed about things like artistic impression etc - being an expat of small brain I am happy with just bright lights and loud bangs.

Fireworks like Christmas and stag parties are meant to be gaudy. It's the whole point.

Am currently on first beach and the weather is fantastic, hot with a small breeze. Will certainly be a good night for fireworks!
