This acoustic 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!”
Singer/songwriter, Christoff Beukes, plays acoustic Guitar, Harmonica and does the Lead Vocal duties in this exciting duo. He is also the principle songwriter.
David Delaney, is an Irishman, that has been calling South Africa home, for the last couple of 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. “Tightrope” is their second single.
