“During the competition will be have to do a display lasting between 16 and 18 minutes and it has to be to music.

“There is a lot of skill involved to perfect the fireworks going off to the exact beat of the music.

“You can pick between four and 10 tracks.

“It will cost about £20,000 to put it all together as there are a lot of fireworks involved and we will need about 20 people. If we were to win we would get £5,000.

“It is very prestigious to have been chosen to take part.”

The event will be held at Victoria Park from September 28-30 – for tickets, see visitsouthport.com/whats-on/british-musical-fireworks-championship-p169661
