Last concert of Mythology part 2: London O2 Arena
Review from The Independent:
After a strong start, the middle section of the gig is more variable. Highlights include early (and reasonably rare) tracks such as “Every Christian Lion-Hearted Man Will Show You”, “New York Mining Disaster 1941” and “Morning of My Life”. However, their standout ballad is still “How Deep Is Your Love”, with one of the finest lyrics about being young lovers ever to feature in a pop song: “‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools/ Bringing us down/ When they should all just let us be.” It provokes a standing ovation as does his perky foot-stomper “Spicks and Specks”.
Read more at: independent.co.uk

Review from The Telegraph
Barry Gibb gets a standing ovation simply for walking on stage. Sixty seven and silver maned, back on stage after fourteen years, and following the deaths of Maurice and Robin, he is the last Gibb brother standing. Gibb, his trademark high falsetto in fine shape, rolled back the years, paying tribute to mentor Robert Stigwood on a delicate First of May, revisiting early hits Spicks and Specks and New York Mining Disaster 1941. As Gibb recalled his friendship with the late Sir David Frost before Too Much Heaven, the thought struck that tonight was as much about death as it was about dancing. During an impassioned, gospel-flecked and grief-tinged To Love Somebody Gibb repeatedly threw his head heavenwards, as if addressing his brothers directly, and likewise on I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You, on which he duetted with his heavily bearded and tattooed son Stephen.

Emotional return for Barry

Barry Gibb, has made an emotional return to the childhood haunts where he first learned to sing with his late brothers. Barry sat on the steps of the semi-detached house in Keppel Road, again where he spent hours perfecting harmonies with Maurice and Robin in the 1950s. He also visited Oswald Road Primary School, where all three brothers were pupils. Read more at: manchestereveningnews.co.uk

He felt I would do it justice and Eric is one of my heros so I jumped at the opportunity. Hopefully people enjoy it. I know it’s a tad of an obscure track but we dig it ! Also, I was there during the writing and recording of it and watching/hearing EC cut the guitar and vocal was truly an awesome moment in my little life at that time. Eric rules !

Barry Gibb is back in a family trio
The surviving Bee Gee will perform alongside his son Stephen and niece Samantha when his Mythology world tour kicks off in Sydney on Friday. Launching his debut solo tour at a Sydney press conference, Gibb said he was nervous at the prospect of performing without either brother, but was determined to celebrate their legacy. “I don’t like being on my own but I love to play and I love to sing so I’m just trying to continue on somehow because somehow life has to go on,” Gibb said. “When I’m up there I love it and it’s something I have to get past so I just have to get on with it. Both Stephen and Sammi bring something different to what we ever did and they’re very unique on their own and you’re going to see a bit of that too.”

The Bee Gees return home.
Yes! The Bee Gees statue at Redcliffe is set to be uncovered by Barry Gibb to honour his brothers and band, The Bee Gees, on February 14th at 2:00pm. It was in Redcliffe in the late 1950s that the three young brothers gathered around a microphone and for the first time performed using a name now famous around the globe. The fact that Barry has personally curated the walkway – selecting the photos and penning the stories and captions – makes Bee Gees Way a must-see for any fan of music. On Tuesday morning, January 22nd, Barry, Robin and Maurice’s sister Lesley Gibb – Evans spoke with 4BC’s Peter Dick and Mary Collier and said she would “move mountains” to be there and we’d love you to be a part of it too! Start the day with the free 4BC / 7 News Breakfast on the Redcliffe foreshore then stay on for the reveal of the statue from 2:00pm. If you can’t be there in person, 4BC will broadcast live with 0nline streaming , breakfast with Peter & Mary from 5:00am > 8:30am and Afternoons with Moyd & Loretta from 12:00pm > 3:00pm. Please email our team Afternoon@4bc.com.au with your memories of seeing the Bee Gees, or perhaps you have a more personal connection? We would love to hear from you! The opening of Bee Gees Way coincides with Barry’s Mythology concert tour of Australia and New Zealand.

What a thrill to sing for him with the man who wrote and produced Islands in The Stream…Mr. Barry Gibb!!! I’m still shaking from being so nervous singing in front of my musical heroes! Come to the Grand Ole Opry tomorrow night as Barry will sing more songs, and I will join him on stage again.’ TG Sheppard: ‘ I got a chance to see my wife Kelly Lang sing “Islands In The Stream” with our friend Barry Gibb, in honor of Kenny Rogers. Congratulations Kenny, Bobby Bare and Cowboy Jack Clement on your induction.

Plans for the coming time
I’m only talking here about plans and possibilities but so many fans keep asking me what’s going to happen next with Mythology and what are Barry’s plans etc. As far as it looks right now Barry has some appearances later this month like mentioned earlier on this website and will probably start recording some new material after the finishing of a rebuild of his studio. Early next summer he plans a number of Mythology concerts in the USA/Canada. Cities which have been mentioned so far are: Toronto (Canada), L.A., Las Vegas, Houston and Miami (USA). Then there are plans of doing some shows in South America probably later next year and some concerts in Europe for 2015. (maybe Germany and one or two more countries). As soon as anything is confirmed and dates become known we’ll surely post this on our website and face book page.

 Mythology Tour, Dublin
fan review
The concert was brilliant and you’re in for a treat if you’re going to one of them. As the Gibb’s confirmed, audience reaction was fantastic and the place was buzzing from the first to last minute. Some might find the extent of audience participation a bit too much, but that’s fairly normal for Dublin. I thought the concert was very well paced and well planned. The mix of songs from different eras, the hits mixed with lesser known songs, the mix of voices, stopping to talk about Stigwood, the brothers, Linda etc., there wasn’t a weak moment.

Barry Gibb Mythology Tour: Birmingham
The first glimpse we see of Barry Gibb, making his first British appearance for 14 years, is his hair glistening under a spotlight. A lovely 1st of May (backed by grainy images of them as children in Chorlton-cum-Hardy) is for Robert Stigwood, who masterminded their career from its pop-rock beginnings in the 1960s and Too Much Heaven is dedicated to the late Sir David Frost. At times, it’s almost uncomfortably raw, and on occasions Barry seems to wipe away a tear. However, there’s humour too.

Some of the songs :
1st of May
Too Much Heaven
Run to Me
Message to You
Jive Talkin’
You Should Be Dancin’
Spicks and Specks
Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You

Her most recent top 40 album ‘Year of The Wolf’ received glowing reviews from Mojo, The Sunday Times, The Guardian & The Sun, Album of the Week at Radio 2 & had three massive airplay hits including ‘Put Your Hands Up’. Her fifth studio album will be released in 2014. www.nerinapallot.com   www.facebook.com

Bee Gees on Australia’s Bandstand

The first legitimate release of some of the Bee Gees’ earliest television appearances on Brian Henderson’s Bandstand are now available in Australia here: umbrellaent.com.au This DVD includes the Bee Gees on episodes from 13 February 1963, 24 April 1963 and 7 September 1963. The quality is decent and it is nice to see the performances uncut in the context of the original programs. The shows are from kinescopes (films of the original video broadcasts) and look to be the best we’ll ever see of them. Later volumes of this DVD series will likely include more clips.

Nordoff-Robbins Silver Clef Award for Barry Gibb
Yesterday Barry came with wife Linda and some friends and family to the London Hilton where he was presented his Nordoff Robbins award. Barry gave a fantastic acceptance speech when he collected the Award 20 years after he won the Special Achievement Award with his brothers for the Bee Gees in 1993. He dedicated his award today to them. The Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy treats children with autism and other severe physical, intellectual, and emotional disabilities using techniques based on the beliefs that music is a universal language, and every human being has the capacity to respond to music. Extensively trained and certified therapists employ improvisational music to stimulate communication with the child. Once this relationship is developed, the therapist works with the child to foster or improve the ability to develop communication, confidence, concentration, motor skills, and the ability to relate to others.

Barry’s Tour comes to the UK
Barry Gibb talks about life back on the road for the first time since the death of his brothers. Martin Hutchinson reports. When Barry walks on stage he will have the thought that brothers Maurice and Robin are at his side. The 66-year-old, possessor of one of the finest (and most ear-splitting) falsetto voices in the business, is embarking on his first ever solo tour to celebrate the music of The Bee Gees. It will be a poignant moment for Barry who was used to performing alongside his two brothers. After losing his younger brothers and having a heart scare himself a few years ago, Barry is philosophical about life in general.
“It was devastating to lose Maurice and Robin, and it was worse for mum,” he says. “I live in the moment now and I’m learning not to worry about the future.”

The inscription underneath the statue:

Bodding, Basser and Woggie

Swimming with tigers and breaking the rules
Living in friendship and acting like fools
But the dream was always there
Within us, around us, whispering in our ears

Pushing us forward to places unknown
Always together and always alone
The dream was relentless and the fame was the spur
Asleep here in Redcliffe and waiting to stir

Unforgettable Redcliffe
You stand where we were
