The 2014 spring edition of Tribute Night sees us indulging in a little tribute night fever as we pay homage to the songs of Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb.
The Bee Gees tick so many boxes that make them ideal for Tribute Night. They have been around for an impressive length of time, with a recording career that straddles five decades. They have been astonishingly prolific, stockpiling a staggering arsenal of quality pop songs for themselves while still having enough spare material to provide a shed load of hits for some of the world's most beloved singers: Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Frankie Valli, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers... They’re one of those songwriting teams who will make you think, “They wrote this too? I didn’t know that was them!” They are also one of those recording artists who, despite having an instantly recognisable sound, have actually covered a lot of ground in their time, producing music in a variety of genres while maintaining a core identity. Their tight-as-disco-trousers three-part vocal harmonies and piercing falsettos (falsetti?) might not be to everybody’s tastes, but, love them or loathe them, they have earned their place in the pop pantheon.
