Barry Alan Crompton Gibb , was born on September 1, 1946 in Douglas, Isle of Man.
Robin Hugh Gibb & Maurice Ernest Gibb born December 22, 1949, in Douglas. Maurice was the second-born of the twins, and was 35 minutes younger than Robin.
Andrew Roy Gibb, born March 5, 1958, Manchester, - passed away on March 10,1988.
Their career began when the three gathered in a bedroom in their home in Manchester, the Rattlesnakes (Barry, age 9, and Robin and Maurice, age 6) began performing at the local cinemas between films. A little later, they began calling themselves "Wee Johnny Hays and the Blue Cats."
In 1958, the entire family (now comprised of Hugh and Barbara, and older sister Leslie, Barry, Robin, Maurice, and baby brother Andy) moved to Australia, settling in the Brisbane area.
In March, 1960, the Brothers were given their own half-hour weekly television show in Brisbane (remember, Barry was still only 13, and the twins were 10!) - the Brothers became first the BG's (for Brothers Gibb), and soon after the Bee Gees.
Still, their careers weren't progressing as they'd hoped. Despite releasing a dozen singles, none were hits - so decided to return to England, where the music scene had exploded with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Cream, and so many others. In January, 1967, the Gibb family sailed back to Great Britain. While on this journey, the Bee Gees finally got their first #1 in Australia with "Spicks and Specks".

They were created by God in (exactly) his image. Or else they've just always been here, like the mountains, and all painters of religious pictures are big fans.
