"OliveTreeDance at Boom Festival 2016 – A Multi-Tribal Explosion of Sound
Boom Festival 2016 was already an immersive celebration of art, music, and consciousness, but when OliveTreeDance took the stage, the entire experience was elevated to an entirely new dimension. The Portuguese tribal-dance powerhouse delivered a performance that was nothing short of hypnotic—a sonic ritual that ignited every cell in the bodies of those fortunate enough to witness it.
From the very first vibration of the didgeridoo, the air became electric. Renato Oliveira (Oliver) wielded his instrument like a shaman leading a ceremony, his deep, pulsating drones setting the foundation for a transcendental dance journey. The fusion of earthy grooves and ethereal overtones created an atmosphere that felt ancient yet futuristic, grounding yet cosmic.
The percussion was the heartbeat of the experience, an intricate network of beats that dictated the tempo of the trance. The drums were relentless yet perfectly controlled, shifting between deep tribal grooves and explosive, high-energy bursts that sent waves of movement rippling through the crowd. The interplay between the didgeridoo and the rhythmic section was pure alchemy—seamlessly weaving moments of intensity with hypnotic breakdowns, allowing dancers to ride the waves of sound like tribal nomads journeying through a sonic landscape.
The energy of the performance was nothing short of infectious. The Boom crowd—already known for its uninhibited, ecstatic dance expression—was completely in sync with the music. Faces painted in fluorescent colors, feet stomping the dust into the air, arms reaching for the sky—this was more than a concert; it was a collective rite of passage into a state of pure rhythm-driven euphoria.
As the set built to its peak, OliveTreeDance introduced unexpected sonic layers, from looping vocal chants to bursts of percussive madness, amplifying the trance-like effect. The synergy between musicians and audience was total, a feedback loop of energy and movement that defied the limits of what a live performance could achieve.
By the time the last note echoed into the night, the Boom Festival dancefloor was left in a blissful daze—breathless, euphoric, transformed. OliveTreeDance had not just performed; they had invoked a multi-tribal dance ritual that merged ancient tradition with modern psychedelic celebration.
Boom Festival 2016 was a portal to another world, and OliveTreeDance was the shamanic force that guided us through it.
Absolutely unforgettable."

"Dave did the music for my husband’s 50th in 2017, and then my 50th in 2023. I knew when I was planning my party that I would be booking Dave - he was so brilliant to work with the first time!
Dave is one of the easiest people to liaise with when planning. He makes every effort to understand your needs and timings, and is flexible in terms with song choices, whether looking for a mix of live singing, using playlist, or ‘karaoke’ style for guests to join in. He will also adapt on the day/evening if the guests are making specific song requests and will allow them to sing into the microphone, whilst he accompanies on guitar – it’s amazing how many seemingly shy friends and family, suddenly become budding Rock Stars!
I wouldn’t hesitate booking Dave again and have wonderful memories to thank him for.
