"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."

"Our wedding was a dream, and Benga was a big part of that. They even got my Aunts and grandparents dancing! Can’t recommend them enough. They were on time and super easy to work and communicate with. They also took our requests and played them! Thanks, Noam and all of the Band! Rachel Higgins"

"Thank you so much for providing the music for our wedding reception. You and Alan did an incredible job of leading the ceilidh (with some guests who have never been in a ceilidh). It was very smooth, accessible & fun! All of our guests had a blast with the dancing. Thank you for also being accommodating with the timings too!"

"Reload has all the key ingredients to entertain any corporate function or party. Vital to any such act’s success is an ability to cover just about any request, and this set fully illustrates ‘juke box’ musical talents - just push a button, choose a cover and away they go!"

" We hired Ostrich Hat to play at our wedding and they were incredible. They learned to play our first dance and the mother/son dance (which were pretty obscure tunes). They were professional and a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. They were also one of the most reasonably priced bands out there. I would absolutely hire them again and couldn't recommend them highly enough. ​"

"Audley and his crew were complete pros. They sounded great at our holiday party last night. My husband and I received many compliments about the band. We especially appreciated Audley's attention to the flow of the event, keeping the spirit lively but not overwhelming. They knew exactly what our party needed, and we hope to hire them again."

"We booked Blue Moon Jazz Band for our wedding in Tuscany on the 28th August and they were a wonderful addition to it. Raphael was great to communicate with prior to the event and was happy to tailor their services to what we wanted. On the day they were calm and relaxed and took care of everything from their side which was reassuring. The two pieces of music we asked them to learn, for the walk down the aisle and first dance were both beautifully performed. We booked them with their singer Nanà who was so good and her voice was perfect for the environment we were in. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and wish them all the best for the future "

"Benga at our annual company gala was a total game-changer. They started with some classy background music during dinner, and then, wow – they turned the party up to eleven! Their lead guitarist is a genius, and their choice of songs was perfect for our diverse team. They made the night a huge success. "

"High Energy! StarAlliance brought life to our event! They were energetic, smiling and enthusiastic! We had them playing acoustic and wandering around in a "campfire" style. It was fantastic! We couldn't have been more happy with their performance!"
