Welcome to Peter Hanmer’s official website
After being involved in the music business for the past 30 years,
Peter has finally released his first solo album called Revelation. He
has recorded numerous other albums with the bands Off the Edge
and Clint & Co.
Revelation is an instrumental guitar based album featuring original
material written by Peter over the past few years. Production began
in November 2008 and was completed in June 2010.
“I had a great time making this cd but couldn’t have done it without
the contribution of three fantastic musicians. Mirko Kesic (drums),
Mike Dorea (bass) and Dave Sharp (Hammond organ). Thank you
for all you have done. It was an absolute pleasure working with
such incredible talent.”
Peter is currently the guitarist for Clint & Co but when he’s not
playing with the band, he composes, records and produces music.
He owns a recording studio in Johannesburg called Foxglove
Studios. Here he records and produces music for himself as well as
for other artists. He is also involved in session work and his guitar
playing can also be heard on other artists’ albums.

PETER HANMER – REVELATION (FOXGLOVE)
“Peter Hanmer is a quietly spoke type who lets his guitar do the
talking – and singing, for that matter (this collection is entirely
instrumental). Such projects often appeal more to other musicians
than they do to the masses who, not unreasonably, struggle to
identify with purely musical musings.
It’s perhaps not possible to discern, in broad terms, whether Hanmer
was happy or sad when he wrote each piece, but without lyrics to
give definitive hints to his inspirations, each composition is as much a
soundtrack to how the listener is feeling at the time as it was to
Hanmer when he wrote it. Off the Record has one of the album’s
more accessible riffs. The Jagged Line, featuring a great organ break
from Dave Sharp, is another standout, underlining the fact that plenty
of classic rock has been listened to prior to the laying down of these
tracks. The last four tracks are all chapters in what is in fact one long
composition titled From the Depths, with the steps, called The
Awakening, The Realisation, The Journey and The Destination giving
more clues into their writer’s mindset.”
