Bee Gees in Manchester 1981
1981
November 26
Music superstars the Bee Gees return to their Manchester roots during a promotional trip to the UK.
The Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton until the late 1950s and formed their first band there – a skiffle outfit called the Rattlesnakes. The family then emigrated to Queensland, Australia.
Pictured outside their former home are, from left, Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb.

After five years of partying and entertaining thousands of people, Redcliffe's Bee Gees Way has been given an upgrade, with improvements to the audio, visual and lighting infrastructure. COIVID may have stopped Sir Barry Gibb from being at the reopening of the Bee Gees Way in person, but he spoke to Craig and Loretta from his home in Miami to mark the official reopening.

Barry Gibb - Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers' Songbook (Vol. 1 / Album Trailer)
Sir Barry Gibb And Friends Re-Record Bee Gees Songbook
Sir Barry Gibb has gathered his famous friends to revisit his Bee Gees songbook for ‘Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol 1’.
The album features collaborations with Alison Krauss, Brandi Carlile, David Rawlings, Dolly Parton, Gillian Welch, Jason Isbell, Jay Buchanan, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Olivia Newton-John, Sheryl Crow and Tommy Emmanuel.
The first single is the Jason Isbell collaboration ‘Words of a Fool’.
In a statement Barry Gibb said, “From the first day we stepped into RCA Studios in Nashville (the very place where Elvis, Willie, Waylon, Roy, the Everly Brothers and so many other legends made their magic) the album took on a life of its own. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to work with Dave and all the artists who stopped by. They were all incredibly generous with their time and talent. They inspired me more than words can express. I feel deep down that Maurice and Robin would have loved this album for different reasons. I wish we could have all been together to do it…but I think we were.”
Jason Isbell adds, “Barry Gibb is one of the greatest songwriters and singers in popular music history, and I’m happy to say he still has that beautiful voice and that magical sense of melody. Working with him on this project has been one of the great honors of my career. He’s a prince.

The time Barry Gibb got his finger stuck in a bottle during a Bee Gees TV interview
Bee Gees Maurice, Robin and Barry Gibb were being interviewed in 1989 ahead of their One For All World Tour, when eldest brother Barry got his forefinger stuck in the plastic water bottle he had been absently playing with throughout the segment.
As Barry struggled to try to free himself Maurice started laughing and Robin Gibb said patiently: "He always does this. He always gets his fingers stuck in bottles."
The sweet moment between the three brothers begins at seven minutes into the interview when the NBC host asked the trio about any possible future collaborations, and the Bee Gees reveal they are planning to team up with Michael Jackson.
We were talking in Cleveland [with Michael Jackson] that he would like to do an album with us," Maurice began.
"It was a single I think," Barry corrected "...and we'll write it together
"Perhaps your world tours could join up?" the interviewer said.
"Well, he said something about that..." Barry started saying, before holding up his finger to show everyone it was stuck in a plastic water bottle, grinding the interview to a halt.
"It's the fifth time this week he's done that," Robin deadpans, pointing to Barry.
Maurice and Barry dissolve into giggles as Robin continues, "Last time he did it with a large bottle."
Yeah," Maurice adds, "It took him two days to get that one off."
As Barry sits between his brothers, trying to hold his composure, Robin continues: "Yeah, it flew in the interviewers face....it was Melvyn Bragg wasn't it?"
The host tries to get the interview back on track. "You still haven't told me what [Michael Jackson] said?"
Pointing the finger and bottle at her, a laughing Barry replies finally: "He said it would be great to go on tour together" and resignedly continues the last few minutes of the interview with the bottle stuck on his hand.
Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson did eventually record a duet, 'All In Your Name' in 2002, but it wasn't released until nine years later on June 25, 2011, the second anniversary of The King of Pop's death.
