Brothers were very much "The brand" of 2007- winning UKFR awards, brining in some clever and innovative fireworks (FanTastic, Airboss etc) and generally looking pretty good all round.

2008 they just didn't seem to build on this. Just a handful of new items, which I haven't seen in stock in any of the shops I visited, and some RRPs going up by a third (Hercules for example.) One of the reasons I think Hercules was so popular was its keen price- £60 RRP.
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

Didnt even realise they had brought anything new out this year!

Personally im a big fan of the stuff I used last year one reason why ive got a good few of their items this year aswell, until see what some of the new stuff got this year brings Brothers will remain as my favourite brand however they will need to bring new stuff to the market to keep people interested.

Well I chose to take the lot. Cabbage patch stock the entire brothers range. The New stuff is very nice I really like bling bling and it as sold very well with regulars. Legend as been popular too but baby boomers and big n bold have been slow sellers but I rate them very highly.
Keeping my ear to the ground... watch out for a huge number of new items for 2009 season.

Have seen videos on some of the new stuff and it does look very good, shame it wasnt more easily available this year.

Will look forward to a new big range next year.

The Krazy Clock was awsome!! I must say the the brothers stuff was by far the best of my lot. Biggest, noisiest and most colourful. The brothers choice 4 pack outperformed everything and wouldnt be out of place as a finale fired together :) A definate for next year for me :)

Tell me about it!! :)

We had the Imperial one and I was shocked, it was amazing, total sky filler and the guests loved it. :D

Think I will get all 4 next year! 100% entertainment.
