On the way to the cinema the record was dropped and broken.
They decided to sing for real instead.
1958
Andrew Roy Gibb is born at Stretford Memorial Hospital in Manchester.
Having been in trouble
with police on many occasions, it was jokingly

would be better off in Australia. They arrived in Australia on Barry's
12th birthday and settled in the Redcliffe district of Brisbane.
They make first radio
broadcast on Talent Quest in Brisbane.
Other prorams included, Bill Gates Midday Platter Chatter.
Between Gates and speedway promoter Bill Goode and an
abundance of other B and G initials (Barry Gibb, Barbara Gibb,

biggest company,
Festival Records.
In 1963, the young Bee
Gees met another group of great harmonizing
siblings - The Mills Brothers. The Gibbs were introduced to their
music by their father who was a big fan and was as thrilled to meet them
as his sons. To this day the Mills Brothers are still cited as a major
influence by the Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees' first single—
"The Three Kisses of Love" b/w
"The Blue and the Grey"—"is released in Australia.
Australian pop star Col
Joye releases the Barry Gibb composition
'(Underneath The) Starlight of Love', as a single.
1964-1965
August1964 saw the release of
"Claustrophobia" but the charts shied
away from the Bee Gees despite national TV promotion or shows on "Thank Your
Lucky Stars".
Wayne Newton releases
"They'll Never Know" on his album "Red Roses for a Blue Lady"
in the U.S. - this is the first Gibb composition to be issued outside of
Australia.
"Wine and Women" -
desperate to see some chart success the brothers enlist
the help of their fan club (which had about 3 members) to do a bit of chart
rigging.
Having figured that they needed to sell a certain quantity of the record to
enter the lower
reaches of the chart they pooled all their money and bought as many copies
as they
could, ensuring that they entered the lowest reaches of the chart at #35.
The record
eventually reached #19.
"Barry Gibb and The Bee
Gees" - This album contained 14 songs, written by Barry
and sung and played by The Bee Gees. It collected many previously released

Zeppelin.
After a string of
disastrous singles on the Festival subsidiary label
Leedon, there were passed onto Nat Kipner, owner of Spin Records,
another Festival subsidiary. He introduced them to Ossie Byrne who owned a
small
recording studio in the back of a butcher shop in the Sydney suburbs
of Hurstville. Ossie gave the brothers all the studio time they needed to
develop their sound and became their producer, even traveling to Britian
with them to co-produce their "First" album in 1967.
'Spicks and Specks' their 13th single becomes The Bee Gees first #1 hit.
'Spicks and Specks - The
Bee Gees' originally entitled Monday's Rain, this album was hastily

In 1967 appearance on the
British "Simon Dee Show" displayed some rather
poor dress sense. The Bee Gees called it "Our insane attempt
to create a trend in clothes. Instead we were knocked for looking
like baboons."
