Renowned as the original and very best, ‘Jive Talkin’ is the ONLY Bee Gees tribute show that has actually performed with the original group! In 1997 Gary & Darren performed LIVE on HEART FM with THE BEE GEES and received great compliments from both Maurice and Barry Gibb.
As with the original Bee Gees, Jive Talkin’ is very much a family affair, with brothers Gary and Darren Simmons taking the roles of Barry and Maurice Gibb and Darren’s son Jack joining the group in 2014 taking on the role of Robin Gibb. The guys are supported by a fantastic four-piece band with Lead Guitar, Violin, Cello and Drums, to ensure that every note in every song is just right!
Wherever the group play they receive superb plaudits; “The Soundalike quality is quite sensational” (The Stage), “Amazing similarity to the real Bee Gees” (Wakefield Express), Absolutely Brilliant (Maurice Gibb), WOW (Barry Gibb)
For a truly amazing experience and an opportunity to hear all the great Bee Gees hits; Tragedy, Night Fever, Massachusetts, Stayin Alive, Jive Talkin, etc, in a 2 hour explosion of music and vocal harmony, this is a night not to be missed!
