Beukes & Delaney
About Beukes & Delaney
This Johannesburg based duo performs an eclectic mix of original Folk/Irish/Rock. For a lack of a better word they refer to their unique style as "Irish-Boereblues!"
Afrikaans singer/songwriter, Christoff Beukes, plays acoustic Guitar, Harmonica and does the Lead Vocal duties in this exciting duo.
David Delaney, is an Irishman, that has been calling South Africa home, for the last 2 years. He grew up learning his craft playing in the pubs of Waterford, where he was born. He plays the Fiddle; a traditional Irish flute called the Low Whistle, Mandolin and does Backing Vocals.
Their debut album, "Good to be Alive", is an amalgamation of their individual musical and cultural backgrounds. "I Need to Sleep Tonight" is their first single.
Apart from the interesting mix of acoustic instruments, it is the beautiful blend of vocal harmonies that keeps audiences transfixed.
They also perform as a 4 piece band to include upright bass and drums.
