Chris Thompson

Vocalist, guitarist, songwriter.

Born March 9th, 1948 in Ashford (Kent), England.

The New Zealand raised singer is best known as the vocalist for [a=Manfred Mann's Earth Band] on most of their hits. Has also performed with [a=Alan Parsons], [a=Man Doki] and has released a number of solo records. Also he recorded together with Norwegian guitarist [a=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 [a=Chris Thompson (2)]!
