Join acclaimed Bee Gees historians and authors Andrew Môn Hughes and Grant Walters for a fascinating journey through the extraordinary career of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb – from their early beginnings in the 1960s, through the highs and lows of the 1970s, to their remarkable reinvention and global success in the 1980s.

Few artists have provided the soundtrack to so many lives. The Bee Gees sold more than 200 million records worldwide, created timeless songs that crossed generations and genres, and became one of the most successful acts in music history. As a songwriter, Barry Gibb stands among the greatest of all time, second only to Paul McCartney in terms of international songwriting success.

This special event forms part of the launch tour for DECADES: The Bee Gees in the 1980s and takes place just one day after Barry Gibb’s 80th birthday – a celebration of an extraordinary musical legacy spanning more than six decades.

Discover the stories behind the songs, the triumphs, the challenges and the enduring influence of the Bee Gees from two of the world’s leading authorities on their remarkable career.

The event takes place in our Star Café and is free to attend.
