Pioneer diwali It's the sort of cake

It's the sort of cake you feel in your chest as much as hear

or spotting it in the shed before the night

finished with a proper echoing report up top

then builds into gold brocades laced with colour that hang long enough to fill the gaps

firing volleys of crackling strobe and booming colour that hang in the sky

Pioneer diwali It's the sort of cakeThe Pioneer pack punches well above its weight. Seven rockets from Evo Fireworks, three smaller ones and four slightly larger brothers, a brilliant way to add height to a garden display without spending a fortune. Each lifts with a solid whoosh and breaks into a good spread of colour, with a nice variety of effects across the pack. Rated F2, a garden firework: keep spectators at least 8 metres back for safety.
