Back in the day, there were two young musician songwriters growing up in Hamilton (NZ) named Chris Thompson, and one went on to be a member of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band.
The Chris Thompson we feature tomorrow is not that one, but equally interesting.
He started out in the Waikato; got a break to be backing guitarist for Julie Felix. Then in London circa 1971 began a solo career involving performances, songwriting and recording. A stint as musician in residence at Trinity College, in Dublin, followed, along with a highly industrious period of playing, recording and no doubt enjoying his OE. By Kiwi standards, it would have been an incredible one in pioneering OE times.
By the mid-1970s, Chris was back home, and he’s continued to play and release albums. He even toured with John Hanlon, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The story we’ll mostly focus on tomorrow is about his long-lost recordings that were on a 1974 Apple Corps acetate and left in London at EMI Studios before Chris returned to NZ.
They ended up getting moved around to different musical locations in London, before being tracked down by Donald McLeod, of Hamilton, and a team of people across the globe, after 43 years.
Sleeve notes of Drunken Nights in Dublin (2018, Pinenut Records/Chris Thompson) read: ‘Chris Thompson is an internationally recognised folk and blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. This long lost album is what was meant to have been his second album, available for the very first time in 2018.’
We’ll be talking live at 4pm to Chris Thompson and Donald McLeod about this amazing project to get these 1971-74 recordings that were in London and finally released on vinyl LP, 12”, and CD, in NZ in 2018.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, we find out about a very special Kiwi musician, Chris Thompson, and a unique resurrection. – PJ

Exploring channels of urban Polynesian and Māori experiences in Tāmaki Makaurau, this immersive storytelling installation is situated in Brindle Cottage, a mid-19th century settler’s home now used for educational activities. Pacific Frequencies: Mahu features a purpose built Polynesian-themed living room from a slightly earlier era. Settle yourself into this domestic space, throw on some headphones, and flick through a world of sound and stories on an old-school radio.
Poets, musicians, and storytellers from East and South Auckland collaborated with BRŌWNALFĀ to design this soundscape-driven audio experience. Opening the discussion around story sovereignty, the exhibit delves into the Pacific diaspora, tūrangawaewae, and the ever-changing understanding of Tāmaki Makaurau's history.
This project is funded by Arts Out East, supported by Te Tuhi, Howick Local Board, and Howick Historical Village.
July 9 – August 4 (Tuesday – Sunday 10:00am - 3:00pm)
