the sounds that havecaptivated thousands on theLas Vegas strip when theStaying’ Alive- AustralianBee Gees Show performs atthe Dubbo Regional Theatrenext Friday, as part of theSweet Songs of Summer Tournext Friday.
Classic hits will take fanson a chronological journeyof the ageless songs andhistory that defined the BeeGees.
Audiences will be toldthe Bee Gees story in amulti-media show thatcaptures the mood andmemories of the time.
Michael Clift, whoperforms as Barry Gibb,said the show would bedone in character to notonly be a celebration of the
Gibb brothers but to bringthe “real Bee Gees liveexperience” to people whenthey can no longer see thereal ones.
“Touring the roads inAustralia and playing inDubbo will be reallydifferent to playing inVegas, but it’ll be a nicechange,” he said.
Accompanied by DavidScott (Robin Gibb) andWayne Hosking (MauriceGibb), Mr Clift said theshow was really about“recreating the sort of liveconcert experience ofhaving the Bee Gees onstage as a way to keepeverything alive for fans”.
Mr Clift said the BeeGees were one of the fewbands that had survivedthrough the eras, reinventedthemselves and reallyrevolutionised pop music.
“It’s a testament to howgood they really were if youactually think about it,” he
said. “They’re one of the
biggest groups of all timeand their songs reallytouched a core, the waythey sang song with a lot ofemotion.”
He said Australia playedan important role in theband’s early development.
“When the Bee Geesstarted their career inAustralia they really cuttheir teeth in the Sydneyclubs.
“I’ve heard the brotherssay in interviews how theyfelt really attached toAustralia, how it reallyshaped them in their musicand if it weren’t for thatthey wouldn’t had been assuccessful,” he said.
He said people couldexpect a great night withlots of images on screen tosupport the show and tellpeople of the Bee Gees’story.

Sports bring big benefits at any ageTHE benefits of sport and physical
activity are well-known.They have been linked to a reduced risk
of obesity, increased cardiovascular fitness,improved co-ordination and balance, bettersleep and improved social skills.
Reducing sedentary time may be asimportant for health as increasing exercisetime. Best of all, getting moving is fun.
The best way to get involved in physicalactivity and sport is to start young.

Habits are established early in life.About 40 per cent of Australian children
don’t participate in sport at all.Common sedentary activities that
compete with physical activity includehomework, computer games, internet useand television. The Australian governmentrecommends children and young peopleshould participate in at least 60 minutes, andup to several hours of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity every day.
It also recommends children and young
people should not spend more than twohours a day using electronic media, such ascomputer games, internet and TV, forentertainment.
As well as the physical benefits, sport has
many mental health benefits as well. Sportresearchers have found that participating insport can lead to improved confidence,social skills and personal skills such as co-operation and leadership.
