Clacton FEAR

Original soundtrack for Clacton Pier's Halloween event, part of an ongoing relationship that also covers the pier's fireworks spectaculars.

  • Composer

Clacton Pier is a year-round collaboration. Nick composes for its seasonal events — multiple fireworks spectaculars and seasonal productions — and wrote the original soundtrack for FEAR, the pier's Halloween event.

A pier is an unusual acoustic space to score for: the audience is spread along a line rather than gathered in a field and the sea is always in the mix.

FEAR 2026 is a new form for the event and a bigger one: strictly over-12s, after dark, staged on the second floor of the Jolly Roger for the first time in decades — two live-action mazes, an outdoor scare zone and the pier's rides running in the dark.
