A wonderful evening celebrating three incredible decades in the lives and music of the Bee Gees. Few musical groups have provided the soundtrack to our lives like the Bee Gees. It all started in the 60s, when, in April 1967 the Bee Gees launched themselves onto the international music scene with the release of ‘New York Mining Disaster 1941’. That haunting classic would be the first of many hits.
In the 1970s, The Bee Gees established themselves as innovative and versatile artists, and their songs covered a turbulent decade of global cultural change and discovery. By the 1980s the disco scene was no longer popular and not to be thwarted, Barry, Robin and Maurice shifted their focus to writing and producing for other artists. They worked collectively and individually to produce some of the most successful songs of the decade.
In 1987, the brothers returned The Bee Gees to form as global hitmakers, galvanising their status as industry icons.
In an incredible career the Bee Gees sold over 200 million records, placing them amongst the best-selling music artists of all time,
