Introducing Afternoon Delight, a Barbershop Quartet

You’ve heard of Barbershop Quartets. You’ve listened to “It Wasn’t Me” By Shaggy. But have you heard “It Wasn’t Me” covered by Afternoon Delight, Barbershop Quartet?

If their name isn’t enough of a hint, then let’s just say they’re a comedic cover group. The humour comes from taking a nostalgic and carefree style of music and using it as a genre to cover songs with contrasting themes. Based out of Manchester, UK, this musical group brings a new sound to their audience. Their bio reads, “The World’s most unique Barbershop Quartet. Four very different men brought together by their mutual love of liquor and ladies.”

They all have their delightful stage names: Angel Delight (Tenor), Turkish Delight (Lead), Shepherd’s Delight (Baritone), and Sonny Delight (Bass). All together, their voices create beautiful and hilarious harmonies.

With inspiration (and covers) from artists such as Justin Timberlake, Shaggy, R Kelly, Britney Spears, Color Me Badd, and Christina Aguilera. They’ve made quite a name for themselves as a combination of modern and vintage sophistication.
