In August 2023, Dave was approached by a long-time fan and follower to create and record a personalized adaptation of the popular rock anthem ‘Summer of 69’ by Bryan Adams, to be played at a funeral in the UK. Dave created a beautiful ballad version and sent the music across digitally. The summer of 1969 was when this particular couple met and the song had been their family favourite ever since. Dave’s adaptation of this song was played on this special and solemn occasion and the family were incredibly moved.
“From the intimate piano bar setting at La Te Da where we first saw him 13 years ago, to the get up and dance vibe at Mangoes, Key West. Dave Bootle never disappoints. Hugely talented and an amazing, versatile entertainer, he truly enhances the Key West experience.”
