The Bee Gees - Live at Festival Hall, Melbourne (1971)

The Bee Gees - Live at Festival Hall, Melbourne (1971)

(Australian 1958-2003)
.In the summer of 1971, the Bee Gees undertook their first tour of Australia since they had left the country nearly five years before to achieve global fame. Their July 15, 1971 concert at Festival Hall in Melbourne was filmed for an Australian television special, and the hour-long black-and-white program is also available on DVD.
For this show, Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb, and Maurice Gibb -- Barry and Maurice playing guitar and piano, though Robin just sang -- were backed by a guitarist (Geoff Bridgeford) and drummer, as well as a full orchestra. This helped them create arrangements about as full as those heard on the Bee Gees' late-'60s/early-'70s records, and though the sound wasn't perfect (sometimes the vocals are softer than they should be), it's a pretty good performance that accents their most popular material of the era.
Every one of their big 1967-1971 hits ("New York Mining Disaster 1941," "To Love Somebody," "Holiday," "Words," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "I Started a Joke," "Massachusetts," "I've Gotta Get a Message to You," and "Lonely Days") is here, lending the show something of a greatest-hits air. A few other songs from the era are included as well, "I Can't See Nobody" being a highlight, and the blue-eyed-soul tune "Lay It on Me" -- the only one to feature Maurice Gibb on lead vocals -- being the least impressive. Robin Gibb and Barry Gibb are the primary lead singers otherwise, though three-part harmonies are naturally often a feature. The on-stage patter and joking isn't very interesting or dynamic, but the performances are good. It's certainly a concert that should be issued officially as it's a good and representative encapsulation of the sound for which the Bee Gees first became internationally famous.

"On the 9th of July the Bee Gees will arrive in Sydney to commence a one week tour of all capital cities. This is the first time the group as a whole has returned to Australia since they left for England 4½ years ago.
Accompanying them on their tour will be ten British musicians and their musical arranger, Australian born, Bill Shepherd. It is believed that the group will be backed by a thirty-piece orchestra."- Go-Set 19 June 1971
."The Bee Gees were being considered for an Australian tour by several promoters, but all but one backed out because the risk was too high. Now the Bee Gees are here they have packed every concert and brought every audience to their feet for a standing ovation! In Sydney and Canberra the crowds leapt from their seats and yelled for more. Canberrites have rarely been known to show such overwhelming enthusiasm for a visiting act of any sort. In Sydney the applause was deafening almost ten minutes after the Bee Gees had left the theatre and were on their way to their hotel!
In Melbourne an extra concert was arranged to cope with the huge demand for tickets and crowd reaction was spectacular."

David English - celebrity charity cricket match in Alcester

World record attempt for longest run-up taking place at celebrity charity cricket match in Alcester

AN ATTEMPT to break the world record for the longest bowling run-up in a cricket match is just one of the things taking place at a grand celebrity charity game coming up at Ragley Park.
The attempt by Alcester and Ragley Park criketer, Ian Biddle, will be one of the highlights of a match organised by 19-year-old fishmonger, Harry Dyke, between the famous Bunbury Celebrity XI and Harry the Fish All Stars XI on Sunday 14^th June.
The current longest bowling approach in a cricket match is 1.6 miles, set in Blackburn in 2010, but the first ball in the Ragley match will be delivered from two miles away, in Alcester

 

 

The Ragley game is a T20 match with both teams sporting a line-up of TV, film and cricket stars.

Among the names of those who have agreed to take part are former Australian bowler and self-proclaimed fastest of all time, Jeff Thomson; ex-England footballers, Paul Merson and John Solako; former England cricketers, Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Curtis, David Smith and Neal Radford, Harry Potter’s Weasley twins, James and Oliver Phelps; and blind marathon runner, Dave Heeley.

Nick Owen, presenter of BBC Midlands Today and Chairman of Luton Town Football Club, will be among celebrities attending a VIP lunch at the game.

Harry Dyke, a fourth-generation fishmonger at Hillers Farm Shop in Dunnington, is hoping to raise £20,000 on the day for two causes, the England U15 Schools cricket festival at Malvern College, and Leukaemia Research.

“I’ve lost friends and family to Leukaemia and I want to raise as much as I possibly can to help research into beating blood cancers,” said the teenager, affectionately known as Harry the Fish.

“We have lots of fabulous attractions including an auction with a star item of a guitar signed by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees.”

 

 

 

There will also be a tombola, a raffle, laser clay pigeon shooting, a human fruit machine, plus food and drink stalls.
The Bunbury Cricket charity was set up 28 years ago by Dr David English, former manager of the Bee Gees who has become known as the godfather of English cricket.
His Bunbury matches have raised over £16million for charity and they also fund the annual U15 schools cricket festival which has produced 62 young cricketers who have gone on to play for England, including Joe Root and Alistair Cook.
The match at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire starts at 3pm on Sunday 14^th June.
Gates open at 2pm with admission £5 per person (children U12 go free).
