Mark Sutcliffe, 55, is a professional musician living in Hadleigh with his elderly parents.
He took redundancy from a company producing sheet music and took the opportunity to follow his dream as a professional musician.
He has a grown up daughter.
He describes himself as a natural Labour supporter, but voted Liberal Democrat in 2010 when he voted in the Bury St Edmunds constituency.
He said: “I really feel strongly that the level of unfairness in our society has become so extreme, that something must be done to redress the balance.
“UKIP really worry me. They represent everything I dislike. Greed, Separatism ‘I’m alright Jack’ and downright xenophobia. Not surprisingly It’s the parts that the Tories had to slough off to allow them to (almost) get elected last time!
“I would be really happy to be part of raising awareness of this election, and how important it is for ordinary people to vote and get involved.”
