Robin Gibb Unveils Green plaque to honour The Bee Gees

Robin_gibbs_plaque_unveilling_1

I joined my good friend, Robin Gibb on May 12 to see him and his brothers, better known as the Bee Gees, honoured for their contribution to pop music with the unveiling of a special green plaque in London.

The ceremony took place in Westminster, a very posh part of the city. The plaque was actually placed outside where the Bee Gee’s manager and producer Robert Stigwood lived as it was where Robin and his brothers spent much of their time rehearsing and composing songs.

It was quite an emotional ceremony because Robin’s twin brother, Maurice died in 2003, so it was a fulfilling yet sad moment for him. But he had many good friends and family around him to make sure that the day was very special.

Did you know that the Bee Gees funky disco tunes were one of the few western acts to make it into Russia in the times of the Iron Curtain? As you can imagine I have always been a huge fan. It really has been a great privilege for me to work with him, I feel very lucky that I have got to meet and perform with one of my music idols.
