Rocket's forte is fireworks displays choreographed to live music, where as SWPF's forte is fireworks displays choreographed to pre-recorded music, using the Fire One firing systems. This combination makes Rocket a powerful player in the pyro-musical field. Kennet and his team will also strengthen Rocket's indoor and special effects department, which provides indoor pyrotechnics, confetti blasting and flame effects across the UK and Ireland. Kennet also brings with him the popular Ignite! pyro trapeze performance that is currently touring the UK, with plans for an Irish tour next year.
Rocket Pyrotechnics in Ireland (headed by Donal Macmahon) continues to thrive and now provides the majority of the fireworks displays in the Republic of Ireland. Rocket continue to work with many prestigious clients such as Edinburgh, Canterbury and Dublin City, Richard Branson and the Virgin Group, U2, Robbie Williams, the Imperial War Museum, Lakeside Shopping Centre and John Lewis at Bluewater.
