I had put this in the local newspaper headlines thread, but it seems to fit well here too, so for people that don't read the other thread -
Some of the lyrics mentioned strippers, drugs and there was also some choice expletive language in songs on the playlist.

I like this pile of crap by way of an explanation:
Director at Apex Fireworks, Thomas Grant , said: "At Apex Events Team Ltd and Apex Fireworks, we pride ourselves on creating fireworks displays and events that are not only spectacular but also give back to the communities we serve. Our core commitment is to make fireworks more acceptable, accessible, and beneficial to charities, community groups, and other organisations we can help, such as local businesses, all while keeping costs down.
"By maintaining a small, dedicated team and leveraging modern technology, we enable these groups to redirect funds into their missions, maximizing the positive impact within their communities.
"Our creative approach allows us to deliver events with broad appeal, introducing fresh experiences to audiences while supporting local charities, such as James Hopkins Trust, The Redwell Centre, and Heart Heroes, as we have this year. Additionally, we work with youth sports clubs to boost fundraising, collaborate with PTAs facing insurance challenges, and involve local businesses to keep our events deeply rooted in the community.
"We’re also pioneering a youth initiative, the first of its kind in the UK, that educates young people on fireworks safety through STEM-aligned sessions, underscoring our commitment to safety and awareness.
"In this recent event, an unfortunate error in our AI-driven music obfuscation technology allowed some inappropriate language to pass through. Despite extensive precautions and manual checks, this oversight occurred, and we sincerely apologize for any offence caused.
