A THEATRE is set to be transported back to the 1990s when a DJ comes to town.

The Marine Theatre is holding a night of housing classics, Nu Disco and Electric from a Cream and Ministry of Sounds DJ who rose to fame in the 90s.

Alongside his musical talent as a DJ, Jon Pleased Wimmin is known for his cross-dressing and stylish presence behind the decks.

In the 80s, Jon's three piece cabaret act 'The Pleased Wimmin' was spotted performing by Danny Rampling, who immediately invited them to dance at his club.

Then as a DJ, Jon warmed up for Danny Rampling in Ibiza.

After proving an immediate hit with the crowd, requests for guest slots came in thick and fast, and Jon became a regular at clubs such as Fabric, Ministry of Sound, Cream and Renaissance.

DJ-ing has taken Jon across the world to places including Ibiza, Buenos Aires, South Africa and Singapore.

His highly stylised dress sense and musical skills made him a regular fixture in DJ Magazine's top 100 best DJs in the world, coming fifth in 1996.

Jon has released numerous records, including two UK top 30 hits, and has played alongside high profile acts such as Pete Tong, 2ManyDJs, Carl Cox, and Andrew Weatherall.

Visitors to the Marine can expect a diverse set, including music from Late Night Tough Guy, Soulwax, Lifelike and Todd Terje.

Jon Pleased Wimmin will be performing at the Marine Theatre on Friday, October 19.

Tickets are £7 in advance or £10 on the door, with theatre friends getting 10 per cent off.
