BEE GEE WAY - REDCLIFFE-0675
Whether you’re a diehard fan, or simply enjoy their melodies playing in the background, everyone can appreciate the grand scope of the Bee Gees music career. They produced hit after hit in a career spanning over four decades, and over 200 million sold albums. In 2013, Moreton Bay Regional Council unveiled a 70-metre monument connecting Redcliffe Parade and Sutton Street, and renamed the alley ‘Bee Gees Way’ Redcliffe. In 2015, Barry Gibb himself returned for the Grand Opening of Bee Gees Way stage 2, and there is a reason this unique tribute is attracting more visitors than ever before.
After emigrating from Manchester, England to Redcliffe, Queensland in the late 1950’s it only took the brothers Gibb, Barry, Maurice, and Robin, two years to land a regular gig at the Redcliffe Speedway. They would perform during intervals on the back of a truck to crowds of people who would throw money on the track. Barry was the eldest…just 14 years old. The Bee Gees signed their first music contract on the family’s kitchen table in Redcliffe and Barry has often said was ‘paradise in 1958 and it still is.’
