Barry Gibb gift to his old school 2026

 Barry’s gift to his old school in Australia.

For Humpybong’s  150th.  Birthday Celebration ( September 11th. 2026).

From Barry’s Facebook page:

Humpybong was the first school Barry and his brothers and sister, (Colin Peterson was in the same class as Barry) attended after arriving in Australia.

When Barry learnt about their milestone anniversary, he knew the school would be the perfect home for this special piece of art.

From Humpybong State School Facebook page:

Thank you to Barry Gibb for his donation of this awesome painting from his personal collection, and the accompanying framed gift plaque and photo. Barry sent these over to Humpybong SS for our 150th birthday! Legend.

At Humpybong, we all belong…  When Barry Gibb of Bee Gees fame, sent this fantastic fan pop art canvas from his personal collection, that he had kept for many years (because it is indeed awesome!), over to our school for our 150th anniversary celebration, we wanted to share the extra photos the Peninsula locals and the worldwide fans have requested…  Thanks again Barry…!  Legend.  Humpybong Strong.

Barry Gibb remembering Dolly Parton

 Dolly was next to me at the microphone and we were reminiscing about when we made “Islands in the Stream” amongst other memories. She suddenly turned to me and said, “Where we are standing right now is where I wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You”. This is how I remember Dolly, a gigantic talent possessed by an artist who was unreachable. Her songs were the greatest and she was the greatest, no matter what, she will live on. Whenever she entered a room she sparkled and I believe she always will. I send my deepest love and regards to

her family. We will all miss you Dolly.

Petition against industrial devastation Isle of Man

 Dear Sir Barry Gibb,

 

I am a resident of the Isle of Man, the place of birth of you and your brothers (we say hello to your statues in Douglas each time we visit!). You wrote in an interview with our local newspaper last year, " It’s my island,’ he said. ‘It’s a very spiritual place, and it always will be". Sadly, that is about to change. There are plans to build 87 industrial Eiffel Tower sized turbines close by the entire length of our beautiful east coast.

I listen with tears to the beautiful singing of our national anthem, Ellan Vannin by Robin and the King William's College Choir. Allow me to show you another rendition which reflects our feelings towards this desecration.

The people fight back - 10,000 have already signed a petition against this industrial devastation of our island's beauty, but we are up against a major international corporate with all its lobbying power.

 

May I just ask that through social media, or as you see fit, you give us your support,

 

Best wishes,

 

Paul
