They also perform their own interpretations of classics like Use Somebody - Kings of Leon, Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen, Here comes the rain again - The Eurythmics to name only a few.
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 Johannesburg home for the last 18 months. He plays the Fiddle; a traditional Irish flute called the Low Whistle, Mandolin and does Backing Vocals.
Apart from the interesting mix of acoustic instruments, it is the beautiful blend of vocal harmonies that keeps audiences transfixed.
Liedjieskrywer Christoff Beukes het ´n interressante musiekvenoot in Ier, David Delaney gevind.
Delaney bring ´n unieke energie aan Beukes se komposisies met sy viool and fluit en veskaf ook agtergrondsang op al die liedjies, die afrikaanse komposisies ingesluit!
Die twee werk goed saam op al die terryne wat strek van Beukes se Afrikaans en engelse komposisies en ´n paar instumentele nommers . Wat baie interresant is, is hulle interpretasies van bekende treffers soos Bruce Springsteen se Dancing in the Dark en Koos Kombuis se geliefde Lisa se Klavier.
Beukes se debuutalbum, Geraamtes van ´n Droom, word deur baie musiekliefhebbers as van die beste Afrikaanse uitreikings in jare beskryf. 40 jaar is tans op RSG and ander radiostasies te hoor en sy eerste musiekvideo word binnekort uitgereik.
