Valiant Swart

Born the 25th of November 1965 in Wellington, South Africa, [b]Valiant Swart[/b] is a folk/blues singer/songwriter and guitarist with numerous production duties and guest appearances on a range of albums under his belt.

In 2001 he was sent on a blues tour of the Southern US States by local TV channel [b]kykNet[/b], with the resulting documentary "Veertig dae deur die Delta" leading to a lead role on that same channel's popular "Song vir Katryn" series, the success of which and the obligatory soundtrack album have made him a household name back home. Valiant Swart has outputted over a dozen CDs and appeared live in England, the USA, and Holland.
