Musik

Paul Hanmer was born in Cape Town in 1961. His musical interest started at an early age. In the early 70's he began classical piano and theory lessons. After three years at the University of Cape Town, studying for a B.Mus. degree, Paul started working in a variety of different fields. He took leave of absence from UCT to work with guitarist Paul Peterson (who replaced the late Russell Herman in 'Spirits Rejoice'), who also introduced Paul to many musicians. He performed with Top-40 bands, did jazz standards and played in several original bands.
