Bannerman features the songwriting of Richie Setford, whose work over the past 30 years as performer, singer and guitarist has incorporated funk and soul (One Million Dollars), world music (Batucada Sound Machine), punk (The Brood) and indie electro-pop (Ziko).
Paula Sugden is a cellist known for her versatile collaborations across classical and contemporary music, with a Bachelor of Music in Performance (Cello) from Victoria University. Paula met Richie Setford a year ago at Decibel Wines and very quickly joined with Hawkes Bay residents Andrew Gladstone (drums) and Campbell Burns (bass) to complete the new look Bannerman line-up.
This is emotionally affecting music, with songs that have a compelling and dynamic structure. They can be quietly dramatic, sweeping, disarming and melancholic. A sweet and sad undercurrent with just enough groove.
