The Gibb brothers were born on the Isle of Man to English parents in 1946 (Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, September 1) and 1949 ( twins Robin Hugh Gibb and Maurice (pronounced “Morris”) Ernest Gibb, December 22).
The family returned to father Hugh Gibb’s home town of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England in the early 1950s where the boys began to sing in harmony, debuting in public on one memorable occasion at a local cinema. The boys were going to lip sync to a record, which other children had done at the cinema in previous weeks. However, on the way to the cinema, the record was dropped and broken. As a result, the brothers got on stage and sang themselves. They got a very good response from the crowd, which convinced them that singing was what they wanted to do with their lives.
In 1958, the Gibb family, including infant brother Andy (born March 5, 1958 in Manchester), emigrated to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, and and went to Humpybong State School. The still very young brothers began performing where they could to raise pocket change. First called the Rattlesnakes, later Wee Johnny Hayes & the Bluecats, and even Les Tosseurs[1], they were introduced to radio DJ Bill Gates (not to be confused with the founder of Microsoft) by racetrack promoter Bill Goode (who saw them perform at Brisbane’s Speedway Circus). Gates renamed them after his and Goode’s initials – thus the name was not simply a reference to the brothers Gibb.[2][3]

Hey Bee Gees fans, be sure to check out a new tribute album called "The Somebodys -- 50 Trib to the Brothers Gibb." It's executive produced by Robin Gibb's former manager and features soul/R&B covers of classic Bee Gees hits by leading UK producers and vocalists. You can listen to some tracks on last.fm or at www.myspace.com/thesomebodysmusic. Highly recommended!
