Richie Setford is a New Zealand based songwriter, vocalist and session player, going on 30 years in the bizzz. His songwriting is cinematic and affecting, mixing melancholy and pathos with absurd humour and surrealism. Whilst based in Berlin, Richie dropped the Bannerman moniker and began releasing music under his own name, as well as starting a new recording project called Bliss Creek. His time in Germany saw him perform on stage with Kat Frankie, M.Rux & The Drums, Max Prosa, John Moods and Itaca (now Ostia). He also supported a number of artists traveling through Berlin and Europe, including Tiny Ruins, The Magic Numbers, Sallie Ford, Max Prosa, Margaret Glaspy, Marlon Williams and Julia Jacklin. Richie has previously released music as Bannerman and Bliss Creek and with bands One Million Dollars, Batucada Sound Machine, Ziko, The Brood and Harmonie Fields.
