Double checked with Ribbands and it's a no-no for BP. Their shell bursts looked cheap at £7 a bang but they have a minimum order of £250, way to much for my needs.
Never thought that obtaining BP in South East England would be so difficult.
I provide pyrotechics to re-enactment societies in my spare time and at the moment I am involved with a World War One group called the 10th Essex (www.actofwar.co.uk).
I also do small displays for pubs and social occasions. My partner in crime, Nick Perrin, has a CAT4 qualification and I would like to get one next year.
I have a nickname, Andy The Bomb, since I tend to create rather loud bangs on the display field.

Ribbans don't do black powder any more.
Dealt with SkyHigh FX in the past but they can be a bit hit and miss, they didn't even bother answering my last requests in 2012 by both email and telephone. Not reliable.
Awaiting replies from Phoenix and TPL Pyro, yet to contact Wells.
One final move might be HFM for pre-made effects.

Spoke to Essex yesterday and they sell it at £15+VAT per 500g tub, is this expensive? Seems so to me.
I have 500g empty tubs, just need someone to refill the tubs at a reasonable cost.
I will try the others on the list today.

Thanks Chaps!
I am really after someone based in Kent or Sussex but I will give these guys a go.
