  Memories of life in the Keppel Road house by Lesley Evans
Lesley: "Such a lot of memories in that house. Barry saved my life Andy was born Barry started singing in that house It was Xmas night 1955 I got a new dress for Xmas it had a very full skirt I stood with my back to the fire and my dress caught fire Barry pulled the rug off the floor and wrapped it around me. I was badly burned and spent a long time in hospital . I don't know what might have been if Barry hadn't done that he was only 9 We had a coal cellar and it had like a small stage, I use to charge the kids a penny to come in and see Barry sing I think it was hound dog" www.youtube.com

  New Bee Gees Film with Dutch disco lights!!
Short GSI translation of video which is in Dutch.
Rico Vrijhoeven from The Netherlands received a phone call from The USA about 2 years ago. He first thought it was a joke and he didn't pick up the phone but right away received a voice mail message and someone of the US film company Warner Brothers. The fact was the company was looking for the old fashioned disco lamps and they were searching for people who might collect these items. It turned out that Dutch Rico was recommended all over the world for these lamps. In February 2020 just before Corona, someone visited Rico to look at his lamps. The man was very excited to see all the different types of disco lamps Rico had. He wanted to make a deal to get all the lamps over to the USA for about 9 months. Rico asked what Warner was planning with all this stuff and the man said do you know Rocket Man and Bohemian Rapsody....?? Well he said there's coming another film: about The Bee Gees. The idea is to rebuild the discotheque where the movie Saturday Night Fever was filmed.

The deal was made and in November 2020 a container would arrive to ship everything to America. However before that happened everything was locked because of Corona. Such a pity, chance of a lifetime for Rico but Corona stopped all plans. Until about early April 2021 he received a mail asking if he was still alive!!! And Rico right away had to laugh and think of the song Stayin Alive!! They asked if he still had all the stuff they wanted for the movie. It seemed they were planning to re-start the project again so we are now busy arranging things and I hope after all my stuff will indeed go to America for the Bee Gees film!! Fingers crossed Rico said! This mega deal will be good for Rico after all the Corona trouble which wasn't good for his business. He's DJ and couldn't work last year. If this deal becomes a fact everything for Rico will be okay again and he will be Stayin' Alive!! www.facebook.com

  Robin John Gibb, back on Facebook!
Below some parts of RJ's message on Facebook of May 8.
Hello everyone, I'm back
I've finally managed to receive and gain full access to my Personal Profile. Any of you who might have wondered what was up, what was terribly wrong, I can reassure them now that I am in good health and spirits and neither did I willingly neglect nor ignore them. The truth of the matter is, my Facebook Personal Profile was indeed compromised by an interloper on the night of 24th of March 2021

I thank all of you who have sent, through Marion Adriaensen and Megan Pankowska Golub, whilst my profile was deactivated, their poignant, sincere and heartfelt words of support and condolences after the very sad and sudden loss of my Aunt Bernice aka Berry.

I also thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all of your congratulations and heartfelt words of love, support and well wishes which we have also received in the wake of our new, big announcement in regards to the new little one's (imminent) arrival.

I look forward to speaking with all of my friends and followers once again.
Kind regards to you all & keep safe, always.
Much love, Sincerely
Robin-John (RJ) Gibb

The Bee Gees: "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" - Available to own on digital May 31: The triumphs and hurdles of brothers Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb, otherwise known as the Bee Gees, is chronicled in this documentary, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall (Seabiscuit, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button). The iconic trio, who found early fame in the 1960s, went on to write over 1,000 songs, including 20 #1 hits throughout their storied career. This film follows the Bee Gees' meteoric rise as they rode the highs of fame and fortune, negotiated the vagaries of the ever-shifting music business and navigated the complexities of working so intimately alongside family.

In addition to the earlier posted info by GSI about the statue. Here's the latest update. Listen to audio: www.energyfm.net   www.bbc.com

Marion / GSI: "As previous reported on GSI the plan was for the statue to be erected as soon as it was ready/early 2020 and that Barry was going to unveil a commemorative 'Plaque' at the statue site on July 4th 2020 and other family members were to be invited. The promenade is being renovated and the statue will probably be erected when those renovations are completed and / or the island reopens. Let's hope one will re- invite Barry to unveil the plaque at a future date to be determined.

Robin and RJ. at the recording session of the Titanic Requiem with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Air Studios, Hampstead, North London. 19 sept 2011. © Sam Pearce
"It was a true 2 year labour of love which ironically in a bittersweet sense became a requiem for my father as well. We played the songs at his funeral as per his final wishes. There's a lot more material we wrote together for other projects (as well this one as there are songs which we had to cut as the album would've been too long) which I'm now planning with influential & significant interested parties in the industry, so hopefully by summer we'll be releasing that material for you. It's a long time coming, and I've had to finish a lot of it using only demo versions and memo recorders we used at that time (rather like the method I used to finish 'Sydney' using his Garageband iPad app's 'ideas folder'). Its taken a while to compile and refine but we're almost there so watch this space."

Barry is full of plans about new collaborations so who knows!! Two of the most accomplished members of two of popular music's most successful brotherhoods shared their admiration for each other on Wednesday (February 17, 2021). It began when the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson praised the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb on his several social media platforms: "I really admire Barry Gibb," he wrote. "He is like King Kong. He and I could probably work something up together". Barry Gibb responded to Wilson's compliment that same day on Wilson's Instagram. "You are the reason I'm living," he replied. "You prove to me that you can do whatever you want to do with your voice and all these years I have just been following you and everything you do. If I'm King Kong then you are Godzilla! Thank you for such a wonderful compliment. We must connect and collaborate as soon as we can. I love you pal ! As I said...you're the reason. BG".

  Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Virtual Gala- one, January 30.
https://variety.com
More about the chat with Barry Gibb
A video of the Bee Gees performing "Stayin' Alive" at an arena led to an introduction of Gibb, who was described by Davis as "the mensch of all mensches" for his graciousness in pulling off a favor for the mogul. Davis described how he met up with Gibb and pulled sheets of paper out of his jacket pocket containing the entire Arista roster, in alphabetical order. In his recollection, the Bee Gee read through the entire list until he got to the W's, then lit up and started gushing about Warwick. Davis considered him mensch-y not just because he wrote "Heartbreaker" in a matter of days for Dionne but said he would produce it at the studio of her choice, not his, befitting her as both a woman and legend.

Davis said he still couldn't understand why Gibb didn't save it for the Bee Gees, but the singer said it wasn't solely magnanimous: "You've got to remember, when I wrote the song, it was a time when the Bee Gees couldn't get on the radio," he pointed out, speaking of the post-disco-backlash years. "We thought, maybe if people don't know we wrote the song, they'll play it." www.allaccess.com

  Happy to announce today
Number One In Australia Too!!
CONGRATS FROM GSI!!

The legendary Barry Gibb takes out his first ever solo #1 on the ARIA Charts as he debuts in the top of the Albums Chart with Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers' Songbook. Gibb's third solo album and the follow-up to In The Now (#3 Oct. '16) sees him teaming up with country stars to reimagine songs from the Bee Gees' canon such as 'Words', 'Jive Talkin'', 'How Deep Is Your Love', 'Run To Me', 'Too Much Heaven' and more. Collaborators include Keith Urban, Olivia Newton-John, Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, David Rawlings and Gillian Welch, Sheryl Crow and Alison Krauss. As one third of the Bee Gees - who were inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 1997 - Gibb topped the ARIA Albums Chart with Live - One Night Only 1 Mar. '99, Bee Gees Greatest 17 December 1979, Spirits March 1979, and Saturday Night Fever, April 78. At the age of 74, Gibb is the latest in a growing line of comparatively elderly men to enjoy No.1 albums in the recent years, and with the Bee Gees' first No.1 single having arrived in 1967 it means he now can claim a 53-year span of chart-topping records. www.aria.com.au

  Barry Gibb gives update about Bee Gees Film and his own book
Barry recently mentioned and confirmed in several of his interviews what we already posted a while ago on GSI: that both a book about his life and a film about his life with The Bee Gees are in the works.

The film
Barry: "The biopic- film could be about two years away. You shall see how I saw the world through my eyes, and there are a lot of things that nobody ever knew about. It is a million moments, you know - a million moments that change your life in one day." The film is to follow the group from the time they arrived in London from Australia and had their first number one hit with 'Massachusetts' in 1967. The still untitled movie is yet to get a director but is to be produced by Graham King, who worked on the Queen biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Paramount Pictures are also involved in the film and have purchased the rights from the Gibb estate to use the original Bee Gees' classic music. The motion picture is being written by Anthony McCarten, known from 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and more.

The Book
Barry also has an autobiography in the works with his son Ashley, 43, and he teased that the book will contain content not suitable for the screen. He said "There are things in the book that could never be in the film"
. GSI keeps you updated but both projects will take several more years to release. www.contactmusic.com

  2021 Pre-GRAMMY Virtual Gala: How The Annual Clive Davis Extravaganza Adapted To The Pandemic
Morgan Enos, MusiCares, Feb 2, 2021 www.grammy.com

For celebrities and everyday folks alike, the past year has taken a toll on all of us. As such, an extra glint of humility shone through these interviews.

"I've never taken anything for granted, and you've never taken anything for granted," Davis told Barry Gibb. (The latter is having a banner 2020 and 2021 with the HBO doc on the Bee Gees, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", and his duets album with Americana artists, Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1.) "To see this album debut at the top of the charts is thrilling for me as a fan, and it's got to be thrilling for you as the architect."

"It's shocking; there's no question about that," Barry Gibb replied. "It's the first No. 1 in 40 years, and that's something extremely special that I can't put into words ... It was all like a dream, and the whole thing came like a vision, including the title".

  Answers to some fan questions
 What about the earlier mentioned Barry Gibb Special.
The idea was to broadcast the special with guests around the release of the album, somewhere in Nashville, Barry also mentioned this in his interviews, but because of the pandemic it was not possible. Hopefully this will still take place sometime later.
 What about a DVD with extra concert footage.
Regarding the DVD with extras that was the plan since Universal and Capitol own the rights. Maybe this year a set with extras will see the light of the day in the US at least. Who knows we have to wait and see if they will finally are going to use the 1979 Spirits concert and the Australian 1971 concert.
GSI will keep you updated.

  Reviews and interviews: Bee Gees
music is hot
Above all that..... Greenfields: Nr. ONE!! Congrats Barry!! The Bee Gees music is very hot these days again, with the new documentary, Barry's new album and lots of earlier Bee Gees albums doing very well again too.

Some of the latest news info out of the recent chats with Barry:
Some of the many great projects in the pipeline:
The Barry Gibb book , GSI earlier mentioned about, is done by Barry and Ashley. They're working on it for about 5 years already. Barry is telling and Ashley typing it all down. It will be the whole story, the real story. At the moment they are halfway through the story, after the fever period. Still looking for a final part of the story but it will take some time.
Anyway the Bee Gees documentary will always be the most important of all.
Concerning another upcoming project: The film
Barry: "Spielberg and his company is one of the partners working on it together with Paramount, Stacy Sneider, Graham King. It couldn't have been a better team. I really have trust in them. At the moment we're just at the point as to decide who the screenplay writer is which they are going to announce themselves, I cannot tell that right now".
Barry's finds it difficult to watch The Docu. and won't do that. He only saw some parts in the very early stages of the project. "It's too difficult to see that everyone in my family has gone. I don't even care if some bits are not true in it. I stopped to worry about those things" Barry said. "Everyone has a different truth". He does think he can watch the story as told in the upcoming movie as like he said "I am very, very much involved in this project myself".
After Covid he likes to do some live performances again as well.

Countless interviews, video chats, reviews etc. you can find them all on our facebook group every day. Be sure to watch!. Here's one more of the many articles: www.thesun.co.uk
