It's a way away yet but I am planning my birthday gig in July where I'll have a number of bands playing.

The venue is quite a small one with a 9' high ceiling.

I want to do pyrotechnics throughout the night of awe'ing quality but I'm not sure where to begin.

I've been looking at le maitre systems but they seem to need a bomb cannon and it isn't suitable for this venue but I want similar types of effects to the maroons used so you get a bang and shower of sparks/confetti etc

Anyone got any pyro (not arson lol) experience that can offer advice pls?

First of all check if you are allowed to use pyros in the venue because nearly everywhere it's not allowed (fire-regulations and stuff)

I saw a stunning local gig. No pyros as they weren't allowed in the venue and I doubt they will be allowed there but what they did do was have a stunning lazer show with lights, dry ice, smoke. That would make it memorable.

Valid point on checking whats allowed at the venue, in general they arent allowed, as OC has said the best ones at small venues I`ve done and seen have been with dry ice and laser light effects - I will add its nothing I`ve ever been involved with organising tho just a couple of bands we have supported used them.

Go for smoke machine and some lights, this can help. ALso check if it is allowed to put pyro there.
