Modulator ESP was created by Jez Creek in the early 1990s as an outlet to produce improvised electronic music using synthesisers, sequencers and samplers with the emphasis on sound design.

Fast forward 20 years and this enduring project is pretty much a staple part of the UK em scene. Jez is personally into a wide range of music, from ambient electronica to thrash metal via all points between, particularly if its weird or progressive. But for his own music, Jez says that it takes him away from the humdrum reality of everyday life and into new worlds of imagination that he can create himself, and his expertly crafted improvised music is testimony to his success at achieving that.

Influences includes such diverse acts as Air Sculpture, Dream Theater, IQ, Jean Michel Jarre, Radio Massacre International, Redshift, Tangerine Dream and Yes.

Michael Shipway has been making music since the late 1970's, playing guitar in a series of punk and pop/rock bands. By the end of the 1980's Mike had discovered synthesisers and created his first album of instrumental electronic music.

The early 1990's saw his first three solo albums released by John Dyson’s 'Surreal to Real' label and a performance at the 'UK Electronica' festival in Sheffield, followed by a series of annual concerts until 1996.

In 1998 as a complete change from the structured arrangements he had previously composed or covered, he decided to try recording lengthy Electronic Music (EM) pieces, improvised with Steve Smith, a long time musical collaborator. These sessions went so well that they formed the duo VoLt and the Dutch based Groove label has so far released their first five albums.

Recently, Mike has completed a new solo album ‘Voyage To Venus’ as well as ‘The Three Towers’, a collaboration with guitarist Garth Jones.

Glenn Main is the Norwegian electronic music composer whose music has been likened to Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis. His first three albums have been critically well received and his 4th "Ripples" is released by AD Music at the 2012 Bungay Bash.

Glenn has carved a niche for himself by creating well produced, melodic electronic music that clearly mirrors his influences, yet strikingly retains a totally unique style. Glenn is a prolific live performer in Norway, winning critical acclaim from fans and media alike for his concerts. Glenn will premiere his new album "Ripples" which is released at the event.

David Wright is the keyboard player and composer of space music and electronic music who founded the AD Music label in 1989 and co-founded the electronic/prog rock band Code Indigo, the electronic music duo Callisto and the new age project Trinity.

David has developed his own unique sound and style and his music is melodic, atmospheric and emotive with emphasis on mood and feel, that for reference purposes, can been likened to Kitaro, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield. His gently rhythmic style combines piano, synths and multi layered sounds and sometimes incorporate electric and acoustic guitars, violin, percussion, samples and male & female voice textures.

During a 23 years musical journey, David has become an established live performer on the em scene and his music has featured on film and TV. His large cannon of work includes many critically acclaimed albums (Dreams and Distant Moonlight, Schallwelle Awards (Gr) Best International CD of 2008 - Momentum - NAR (USA) nominated Best Ambient album 2007 and numerous other award nomination between 1995 and 2012. Guitarist Lee Morant and vocalist Carys will be performing with David for this event.

Loathed by millions for his on-screen portrayal of the Street’s wide boy Terry Duckworth, Nigel Pivaro is set to leave a trail of pantomime menace and meanness at the Marina Theatre as the evil Abanazar in the pantomime Aladdin.

RADA trained, Nigel first joined Coronation Street in 1983. He had initially auditioned for the role of Curly Watts and so impressed producers they asked him to audition for the role of Terry, and British TV soap history was made!

The iconic character of Terry Duckworth has become synonymous with the Street. His many wicked ways, from breaking his parents’ hearts, along with several girlfriends, to selling his own son, have made him the villain everyone loves to hate.

Dipping in and out of Street life since the nineties, Nigel’s recent return to the cobbles was a ratings hit. Pantomime producer Paul Holman, from Paul Holman Associates said:

“Nigel is the archetypical soap baddie. He has so much experience to bring to the production of Aladdin at the Marina Theatre and we’re thrilled to have him on board.”

Life away from Coronation Street has seen Nigel appear in Hetty Wainthrop Investigates, The Bill, Expert Witness and the Channel 4 short-film Sunny Side of the Street. He has an extensive background in repertory theatre and has appeared in many pantomimes across the country, always playing the villain and always whipping up audiences into a barrage of boos and a hail of hissing!

Nigel added, “It will be an interesting pleasure to work in the historic sea faring town of Lowestoft, its residents are hardy, inventive and resilient from its fishing roots to leading the way in renewable energy. However my stage persona will not be undergoing any such transformation as I will be sticking to the script to perform one of the most dastardly pantomime villains known to man!"

Nigel will be joining an exciting cast of colourful characters in Aladdin from 18 December 2012 to 6 January 2013. Tickets are on sale now, with special discounted pricing for early bookers, available at the Box Office or by calling 01502 533 200.
