IF you are looking for a Christmas light show which is sure to impress this year, then make sure you mark 123 Bisley Street on your ‘to visit' list.

Jamie and Rosemary Taylor offer visitors a unique show that boasts a musical edge, delivered in the comfort of their cars.

The couple installed a program allowing them to synchronise their light show to music played through the spectator's radio.

Mr Taylor said synchronising the music and lights together took about 20 hours per song and so far he and his wife have a catalogue of seven songs.

“This is the second year we have offered the synchronised show and people can hear it on 97.9FM – we transmit to the station from here,” Mr Taylor said.

Mr Taylor, a Warwick ambulance officer, has shown extreme commitment to his Christmas light hobby, taking four weeks off during the festive season so he can interact with the members of the community who visit and inquire on the impressive display.

Admirers frequently park outside the Taylors' home to tour their illuminated yard and marvel at the stunning light show.

“We stay out the front from 7pm to 10pm to chat to people every night,” Mr Taylor said.

“We have had about 300 visitors so far already.”

Mr Taylor said he and his wife constantly evolve their show and hope to further expand next Christmas.

“Already now you're thinking of what you can do next year and ideas for upgrading,” he said.

With the help of his hardworking family, Mr Taylor also spent a lot of time building his own nativity scene, in an effort to craft his own unique creation.

“It's good because when you look at someone else's you know you won't see the same thing,” Mr Taylor said.
