Paul Thompson Singer-Songwriter

Paul Thompson is a singer-songwriter from Norfolk, England. He has toured extensively around the UK, Europe, the US and Canada, and holds a Guinness World Record for ‘the longest journey by electric milk float’.

Paul’s Floating to the Fringe Tour, supported by Arts Council England, saw him embarking on a three-month musical odyssey to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, gigging from a specially converted milk float ‘Bluebell’, that doubled-up as 15mph tour-bus, and solar-powered outdoor music stage. Paul has also published a book about his incredible 1,000-mile journey.

Described by Fatea Magazine as ‘a gifted instrumentalist reminiscent of Neil Young’, Paul’s music is inspired by a love of the natural world, and concern for the environment. A multi-instrumentalist, Paul writes and records most of the parts to his music himself, and has a Master’s Degree in Songwriting from Bath Spa University. Paul now also performs live with a harp-guitar, a unique 20-string instrument that sounds like no other! Check out the harp-guitar page for further information.

Paul’s seventh album Passing Places is due for release later in 2026. Inspired by a visit to the Isle of Mull on the West Coast of Scotland, the title-track is a reference to the passing places on the one-lane roads around the island. Paul is planning further adventures to coincide with the release of the album. Keep watching this space!
