GSI ANSWERS
Marion / GSI:
"Here again a little update about things you have asked me about recently".
 Merchandise,
No official Barry / Group merchandise available presently but hopefully deals will be in place in the not too distant future.
"Spirits Having Flown"
At this time I have not heard more info from Universal about plans in place to re - release 'Spirits Having Flown' or related material .
There will be extra attention for Spirits in the new to be released documentary though. What the future will bring we have to wait and see.
Universal fire in LA. Lots of questions about this after some new media attention about this a while ago. I have searched and know that all the Bee Gees
Masters are safe as they were still with Warners in 2008 but there is a possibility that some solo tapes may have been lost although there may well be duplicate tapes in the UK.
Media reports about Nick Endacott: I have been in touch with him a number of years ago and
GSI will wait with posting anything more until a possible Gibb family statement, due to privacy reasons.
More updates when available here on GSI.

Some latest info about: Two former Bee Gees drummers
Geoff Bridgford and Colin Petersen.
Geoff wrote GSI yesterday again that all is going will with him. Some time ago he mentioned to GSI he'd met Colin
and talked with him and would love to meet him soon again. We reported about that. Unfortunately this ne meeting didn't happen yet and since
Colin is also behind the drums now Geoff had hoped to be able to visit Colin's performance next May but then he will be working somewhere else and cannot visit.
The two still have hope to get together again in near future.
Part of Geoff's message to GSI: "I'm doing well . I still keep chipping away at my love for the music and planning some new recordings and low key solo gigs for 2020. I'll send you links to anything relevant.
Good to see Colin petersen is back playing drums. His drumming was very inventive in The Bee Gees songs he played on.
Although 'Twin Towns' is located pretty close to me, I'll be away down South in Melbourne around that date - otherwise it could have been a good opportunity to catch up with him again.
All the best to you, will be in touch, warm regards
Geoff B"

Bee Gees statue in Douglas
The statue on the Isle Of Man will have 'worldwide appeal', says council leader!!
According to David Christian the authority wants to create a landmark feature that both visitors and locals will appreciate.
Mr Christian discussed the proposal with Local Democracy Reporter Ewan Gawne.
Discussions over a statue started about 10 years ago when Robin and Barry attended a ceremony at Douglas Town Hall where they became Freeman Of Douglas.
The authority is trying to see if Barry can attend the unveiling of the statue next year.
Hopefully, pending planning approval, it will be complete in April next year.
The proposal would see a £150,000 sculpture of Manx-born Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, caught mid-Stayin' Alive stride, put on Douglas' Loch Promenade.
The 7ft (2m) design is by Andrew Edwards, who crafted statues of The Beatles and Cilla Black in Liverpool.
In the base of the statue, which would be in the shape of a record: inscribed the lyrics from Ellan Vannin, the song the group recorded to raise funds for a Manx charity in 1997.
Four lighting bollards have been included to illuminate the statue. A council spokesman said if approved, the statue would be in place by April 2020.
There are even plans yet for the unveiling and the date of this ceremony, however I cannot tell more about that now as it is still confidential. More on GSI when I can publish these plans.

BEE GEES MOVIE!!
Finally some info concerning the movie plans we earlier mentioned about and where recently also Robin John Gibb talked about in an interview just before the premiere of his first show in August.
Some very big projects in the making now.... ofwhich the Biography is almost ready but the Musical and Movie will still take quite some time!!
We will wait and see. It worked for Queen. It worked for Elton John. Why not tackle the Bee Gees next? Paramount Pictures and producer Graham King are producing a biopic movie about the Bee Gees...
Paramount, Sister, Graham King Team For Bee Gees Biopic
Paramount Pictures is teaming with upstart producer-financier Sister and Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King to mount a movie about the Bee Gees,
the trio whose worldwide sales of more than 220 million records established them as one of the biggest-selling groups of all time.
The studio has purchased the life rights to the Gibbs family estate, which will allow them to use the trio's iconic songs in the final film.
Recently formed production/financial venture Sister is partnering with Paramount and Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King for the new film.
While details are currently scarce, Deadline reports that the studio is currently looking to lock down a writer for the project.
We also keep you updated the coming time about this project.

RE-DESIGN OF MAURICE GIBB PARK
September 17, 2019:
Marion / GSI : 'Yesterday I received a mail back from Adam Gibb, whom I had written to get some of your questions answered concerning the new park plans.
(Below a part of the private correspondence between Adam and me)
 click to enlarge
Adam: The city approached us with an idea to redesign Maurice Gibb Park with very cool and innovative ideas on playground equipment based around music.
- Has the design made in cooperation with your family?
Adam: The city of Miami Beach has been in communication throughout the process and has brought all the ideas to us to approve. We LOVE what they have planned!
- I see parts of text on some photos: what is the complete text and where does it come from.
Adam: A lot of what you see on the photos has been thrown on there as ideas. Some of what we have discussed and others meaningless.
- I am very interested in getting some update info about the new design if possible
Adam: . What is online and public is the current information on the park redesign. They wanted to make it a place to see on the list of things to do when you come to Miami Beach. A lot of love is being put into it.
- Will there come an official opening?
Adam: There will be an official opening which is still at least a year away.
Hope this helps answer some of the questions you have! Its still early days and we haven't heard anything new for a few months now.
All the best, Adam.
I will keep you updated the coming year about these new plans but it looks to become wonderful and with full support and approval of The Gibb family.'
September 24: Update with more info
The Design Review Board (DRB) officially approved the plans for the park revitalization project, which will install a brand new state-of-the-art playground, new walkway paths, tall shade structures, a dog park, new fishing piers, and a new bay view overlook!
The new playground structure will be an especially unique addition, as it is themed after the 1976 Bee Gees song You Should Be Dancing, an additional tribute to Maurice Gibb and his band.
Construction for this G.O. Bond project will begin in May 2020 and the expected completion date is November 2021.

Hurricane Dorian approaches Florida, Gibb Family update
GSI MESSAGE ABOUT THE GIBB FAMILY!!!
The past few days I've received countless questions about the situation around hurricane Dorian and The Gibb Family.
I have been in touch with the family in Tennessee the past few days and received some updates about their plans.
As you know Barry, Linda and some family members are already in Tennessee for a while for and they first decided to maybe stay there untill the coming week because of Dorian.
Today their plans changed due to the fact that the path of Dorian seems to change as well and they love to go back to the rest of their family.
LATEST UPDATE
Hi Marion, We are returning to Miami today to join the family. As of now I believe that all the Gibb family have
taken the necessary precautions and will likely remain in place as hurricane 'Dorian' appears to be currently taking a slightly
more northerly track and that being the case the 'very worst' weather should miss 'South Florida' although will still experience tropical storm force
winds and very heavy long sustained rain which along with the 'king tides' will likely cause street flooding and power outages.
Follow us on GSI Facebook for latest updates always.
Robin left audio tapes, Dwina plans to write a book
Marion: 'Yes, Robin Gibb left quite a number of tapes onwhich he tells his biography. Dwina is busy listening to them all.
I guess it must be wonderful for her that Robin left her -his life on tapes- but on the other hand very difficult to hear this told by Robin himself and hear his voice.
It is much too early in the progress but, in the end there might come a book about Robin's life.
GSI will keep you updated.'

Message from Robin John
 RJ performing. copyright unknown
on August 8th.
"It was great to see so many of you there,
Hope you come to the next one.
We always have more surprises in store, I'll be singing more songs and the show only grows so there's always something more to see.
Also I'll be introducing more hot artists to the music scene.
Andrew and I at KTT Records are dedicated to changing the industry for the better and we invite others to join the struggle. In the same vein as the great
Dave and Mickey Most there need to be more risk takers in the talent scouting world ready to break the paradigm of only getting behind a tried and tested
"safe bet" that sadly so many in the current music industry adhere to. That's how things remain monotonous and stagnant and culture doesn't grow nor alter.
The only factor which should determine whether a recording artist is great is whether or not their songs sound great and have fantastic hooks and melodies.
Sometimes an entirely new genre is created, other times an older genre is revived, and sometimes an older genre is fused with a newer genre.
The ethos should be:
"If it sounds great then it is great"
Hope to see you at the next show !
Love to you all, RJ '

SIR BARRY GIBB AT CHRIS EVERT GALA
In answer to fan - questions GSI received the past few days.
'I have the following info for you.
 Concerning the ordering of tickets by outside the USA living fans which gave some problems:
I guess problems with tickets ordering through the Chris Evert website have been solved now.
The website now accepts outside US addresses when you type these in and the special discount code.
Attention for outside US fans: , tickets won't be send to you but on the Gala day, November 23rd. 2019 you will be able to pick up the tickets at the "Will Call" desk of the Event.
Barry's performance at the Chris Evert gala on Nov 23rd will not be on TV.
This is a black tie charity event in a hotel ballroom - capacity about 600. Similar to a Diabetes Research "Love and Hope Ball".
I imagine Barry will perform for about 45-50 minutes during this Gala Event. More info on GSI when available, later this year.
They probably had set aside about 50 -60 discount tickets for fans
to purchase using the special code and as they have only been available since Saturday morning I would imagine there should still be a good many available.
BACK TO THE GAUMONT
New facebook group: important for all Bee Gees fans, become member today!! And help saving the Gaumont!!
facebook.com/groups/GaumontChorlton
This group has been created with the purpose of returning the Co-op Funeralcare property in Chorlton back to community to be used as a museum of memorabilia
of The Bee Gees, theatre, cinema, dance hall, exhibition hall and community meeting place. It is intended to raise money for the purchase the property by public donations.
This iconic building was the first place that The Bee Gees performed live. In an extract from brothersgibb.org history says...
"The neighbourhood cinema round the corner, owned by the Gaumont concern, was the place where the young kids watched a movie on Saturdays.
During the break kids could lip-sync to their favourite records. That was something the Gibb boys wanted to try and they asked if they could have a go.
They practised all week together with some friends and called themselves The Rattlesnakes and the next Saturday, with a breakable 78 r.p.m. record under their arm,
they left for the theatre. But the record broke and so the brothers decided to go on stage and sing with their own voices. That was really the beginning!!"
Bee Gees fans could buy Co-op Funeralcare for Chorlton Arts!
Millions of Bee Gee fans could chip in just £1 each and provide the funds to buy the former Bee Gees haunt,
in Chorlton. It could be returned to community use as a performance and exhibition venue and also a homage to the Bee Gees,
with a museum of memorabilia. It was the Gaumont until it closed in 1962. Here is a picture taken in 1958 courtesy of Manchester Archives. Is that Barry, Robin and Maurice crossing the road?
 Old Gaumont Theatre (click picture to enlarge)
The City Council have accepted the nomination by Chorlton Community land Trust to make The Co-op Funeralcare an Asset of Community Value.
"I can confirm that the City Council has accepted your community nomination as valid and will now proceed to decide whether or not the land named

BEE GEES DOCUMENTARY
Marion / GSI: 'Like mentioned some years ago already on GSI, I promissed there were plans for a number of nice projects for the coming years ofwhich I couldn't tell much yet.
Finally a short while ago I could mention the plans for the new Bee Gees documentary which were published then too by the producer.
Yesterday I received a new update from the company who's working on this.
I heard already during my visit to the Massachusetts Tour in Germany some weeks ago that people like: Blue Weaver, Vince Melouney and
Dennis Bryon had been interviewd for this docu during their tour in Germany. In the docu you will see lots of interview parts old and certainly also new ones as well as
all kinds of other archival material specially from the early days and the 60's and 70's like photos, mementoes, etc. More people will be interviewed too the coming period.
This weekend the company will fly over to Miami to do a new interview with Sir Barry Gibb amongst others, also for this new documentary.
Soon I think they will have a special website where fans can contact when they have any photo or other material to offer for using in the docu.
While the company is in Miami they will work on some recording to call out to the fans to send out.
The producers are very much looking forward to release this new documentary and it should be a worldwide theatrical release, they told me yesterday!!
If you think you have interesting material to offer for this docu you can also mail me and I will put your name and email address on a list already to send to the producers.

DEAR MEMBERS...... FINALLY..... IT'S A GO GO....!!!
GSI has been mentioned in pinned messages, updates and comments on both the group and the website about plans in the works quite some time already.
In 2017 I heard the first plans 'confidential' from my sources in Miami Beach like it happens more often with new plans..
Some plans do not see the light of day as in the music industry so many people have to decide and work on things and so many reasons can be there, to stop working on plans.
Don't forget that so do not always blame The Gibb Family for not doing what they were -planning-
to do. (also one of the reasons why it's better to wait with announcing to the moment when things become more real).
I regret the fact that some fans often get angry at ME for not mentioning more and sooner but please understand that when I am told confidential...
I won't spread the word yet. This happens often with these huge projects in music industry and there's more in the works still...... so be patient and trust me, thank you Marion / GSI

Their EP that will be released with the single "I Gotta Have It" is coming early this summer.
When I recently asked Sam how this group got their name she answered me:
"Hey Marion,
They actually got the name when someone asked them randomly if they had heard of the band Cage The Elephant and in response,
David, the lead singer said "No, do you know who Chase The Jaguar are?" and something clicked and he thought, "That could be a cool name?", since they hadn't figured a name out yet :
Sam to GSI: " I am gonna be sending you more stuff of the group soon. We will be releasing their first video from their new EP on Feb 8th and
I will send you links to the teaser which will be released a week before as well as the live link to the video on the day of release. ".

NEWS, November 7
Update about some Gibb projects!!
 The Bee Gees documentary is almost finished and I heard it will be shown on Cable /TV worldwide next year.
The Movie in co - operation with Barry, Yvonne & Dwina will likely take 3 years to make and will come to cinemas worldwide.
I am not aware of any further plans concerning a Musical Stage Show presently.
I believe Barry's new album is almost finished and will be released next year, as of now a release date or promotional plans are unknown. We will keep you informed of course.
Like earlier mentioned on GSI, Dwina is busy listening to tapes onwhich Robin, before he died, has told about lots of situations,
anecdotes, and stories which happened in his life. Dwina is planning to release this in a book sooner or later.
There are plans for a huge international show to celebrate the Gibb music. This is a project of Robin John Gibb and family and we already mentioned about some first small shows in August and October,
London. It will be a project supported by the Gibb Family and a true and authorised tribute to the Gibb music. You will soon hear more about it here on GSI.
Barry will likely perform for approximately one hour at the Chris Evert Gala at Boca Raton Florida on Nov 23rd.
No chance for Meet and Greet / visit soundcheck.
The plans for getting a memorial for Andy Gibb in Miami are there: work is in progress like earlier mentioned by GSI.
More details when available.
There are plans to erect a statue of the Bee Gees in Douglas on The Isle Of Man, where Barry, Robin and Maurice were born.
The authority wants to demolish a public shelter between the Marine Gardens and replace it with a sculpture of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
The first goal to save the Gaumont Theater in Manchester succeeded, like you can read in the several updates/ articles on the GSI facebookgroup, November 11th. 2019.
Everyone now is trying to pledge and get more money to be able to do more. We have good hope. Keep following this project and let's hope the Gaumont
Theater building, where the 3 brothers did their first live performance on stage, will be kept for the future.
For all of the above projects and more... we will keep you updated on GSI and will post when more news is available,so stay tuned!!
Marion / GSI
In answer to some questions from fans:
I believe Barry and family will be spending the Christmas and New Year holidays in Miami.

Stayin Alive Crowdfunding Campaign
Preparations are well under way for the launch of the Stayin Alive Crowdfunding Campaign to save the Gaumont Theatre.
It was planned to take place October 25th. but we've decided to delay the launch of the Stayin' Alive crowdfunding campaign for about a week.
This is to make sure that everything is perfectly in place before we make it live. Thank you to everyone for your continuous support, we'll keep you posted on any developments.
For those of you who don't know, The Gaumont is a beautiful slice of history right in the heart of Manchester. It's the venue that the Bee Gees did their first ever live performance!
This is currently being used as a Co-op Funeralcare centre, however we have been made aware of plans to sell the building on for re-development.
Our project aims to fundraise enough money to be able to offer a counter bid in order to return the building to its former glory.
Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting developments!

Live @The Bloomsbury Ballroom
VIP Launch Show 20th October
Victoria House, Bloomsbury Square, London WC1B 4DA
On 20th October 2019 London's Bloomsbury Ballroom in association with Knot the Truth Ltd (KTT) will present an evening celebrating soul, funk, new wave,
disco and the music of the Bee Gees hosted by RJ Gibb, son of the legendary musical icon Robin Gibb.
Backed by a high-octane band, visitors to the capital's famed art deco space will witness RJ Gibb performing songs from his own catalogue as well as classic material from his father and uncles.
Themed to the golden era of disco that the Bee Gees dominated,
the show will feature archetypal songs such as How Deep is Your Love, To Love Somebody and hits from Saturday Night Fever.
August's VIP preview event at The Ballroom was a resounding success and was attended by a plethora of industry figures including
Tomi Ray Brown and James Brown Jr - wife and son of The Godfather of Funk, Heather Small of 'M People', greats from the sporting world were in
attendance including legendary spin-bowler for England's Cricket Team Monty Panesar as well as esteemed Hollywood actors like Steven Bauer,
Ken Davitian, Armand Assante and many more. Performers on the night included Blue Weaver, original keyboard player for
The Bee Gees, alongside West End stars from The London Cabaret Club, who's breathtaking dance routines enhanced the disco atmosphere.
RJ Gibb worked extensively alongside his father Robin, co-composing The Titanic Requiem with the Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra and producing much of Robin's later work, including the song Instant Love - as well as co-composing various tracks on
50 St Catherine's Drive, his father's last pop album. In what will be a heartfelt celebration, RJ Gibb will call on family and friends to honour his father's legacy,
while adding his own inimitable flair as a performer to proceedings, alongside a varied selection of industry figures that will keep the show full of surprises.
Truly a night to remember and certainly one not to be missed. For more information and to book tickets - please visit: www.octopus.tv/events-1

Thank you Nancy for giving me permission to use this photo.

Fanny was a black lady and the sweetest woman. She would help the brothers with taking care of the house and individual needs.
She could cook, clean, and was a pleasure to be around with. While they were writing the song, she came into the room and that's when they said FANNY, that should be the name in the song!
Beautiful song by The Brothers Gibb from their superb 'Main Course' album produced by Arif Mardin.
Recording for "Fanny" took place on 30 January, the same day as "Jive Talkin", "Songbird" and "All This Making Love".
Additional recording took place in February when Barry began to use his falsetto as a lead vocal, in addition to Robin using his falsetto as well, sharing the lead and backing vocals.

In the past few years it became more and more difficult to post all the updates ( which often come in daily) on this website.
I cannot update the website myself and the person who takes care of it has very little time these days unfortunately. Next to that...
updating the website is very much more time - consuming then posting updates, photos and videos on facebook! That's just done with one click on a button.
Therefore I am so happy that most of you already decided to also become free member of the GSI facebookgroup where it's so much easier to keep you updates with latest news flashes and lots of photos and videos.
Of course the International GSI website will stay and be updated with all the important news facts, reports etc.
but for all the details, daily stuff and, lots of photos and videos, background info etc. be sure to also become member of the GSI facebook group.
Bee Gees Documentary
The past months I have been in touch with the production of this documentary regularly and have send them some contact info of people
who might be able to help in some way telling their story or sharing their material etc.
Two weeks ago the production team went to Miami Beach for interviews and were also very enthusiastic about their interview with Barry.
They try to come back once more in the hope being able to also interview Alan Kendall.
Most of you have read other short updates on our facebook group already where we keep you posted about this wonderful project.
There will also be attention for Andy Gibb in the documentary and there will be lots of attention I guess on the very successful Spirits period.
