Daniel Thompson

Daniel Thompson is a British guitarist and improviser born in Norfolk. Largely self-taught, he moved to London in 2005, where studies with guitarist John Russell and close involvement with the city's free-improvisation scene shaped his musical direction.

Thompson has performed with musicians including John Edwards, Evan Parker, Steve Noble, Benedict Taylor, Caroline Kraabel and Sue Lynch. Alongside his playing he has organised concerts, notably the Shoreditch Church Series with Benedict Taylor and the Foley Street concert series, and founded Empty Birdcage Records. Creative Sources documents his work on Eight Improvisations (CS253), Ag (CS489) and Nauportus (CS595).
