Biography

source

Showing the Discogs bio

Vocalist, guitarist, songwriter.
Born March 9th, 1948 in Ashford (Kent), England.
The New Zealand raised singer is best known as the vocalist for Manfred Mann's Earth Band on most of their hits. Has also performed with Alan Parsons, Man Doki and has released a number of solo records. Also he recorded together with Norwegian guitarist Mads Eriksen, who also does the live support for Thompson together with his band. In his early career, he used his self-chosen middle name 'Hamlet' to distinguish himself from a folk singer of the same name, who also came from New Zealand.
Do not confuse with the Australian indie rock producer/ engineer Chris Thompson!
