Craig Ogden and Paul Tanner graduated from the University of Western Australia with Honours degrees in performance. While Craig moved to London to establish his career as one of the world’s leading classical guitarists, Paul based himself in Perth and consolidated his reputation as an outstanding and versatile percussionist.
Craig has been described as a “worthy successor to Julian Bream”. He travels the world performing as a solo guitarist and as a soloist with leading orchestras. His first CD release earned him a Grammy nomination, his recording of the three Rodrigo Guitar Concertos was received with praise by the Rodrigo family, and Music from the Novels of Louis de Bernières became one of the best selling classical CDs in the United Kingdom and Australia during 1999/2000.
Paul has spent many years touring Australia, the USA, Latin America and Africa to augment his diverse range of percussion techniques. He has performed with leading musicians in an eclectic range of musical styles, including jazz marimba/vibraphone in his own original music group Scope, Latin percussion in salsa bands and studio recordings, orchestral percussion with the Western Australian Symphony, and contemporary percussion in solo recitals and with the Nova Ensemble.
In October 2000, Craig and Paul combined their musical energy to form OgdenTANNER - a guitar and percussion duo with a core repertoire of popular guitar duets, tangos, and new works written for the occasion. The duo has since performed to sold-out houses within Western Australia and released a CD to coincide with their 2002 tour of the United Kingdom.
