Returning to the Neeld after a sell-out performance in 2018, this is the only Bee Gees tribute show that have actually performed with the original Bee Gees! In 1997 Gary & Darren from Jive Talkin’ performed live on Heart FM with The Bee Gees and received great compliments from both Maurice and Barry Gibb.
Wherever the group play they receive superb plaudits; ‘The sound alike 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 including Tragedy, Night Fever, Massachusetts, Stayin Alive, Jive Talkin, and more in a 2 hour explosion of music and vocal harmony, this is a night not to be missed!

An Evening with Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards
Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards is Great Britain’s first Olympic Ski Jumper. Eddie was ranked 55th in the world which qualified him as the only GB applicant for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. With the UK firmly backing the plasterer from Gloucestershire, Eddie took to the slopes followed by a whirlwind of international press and media. Eddie competed in the 70m and 90m jump events, but unfortunately came last in both events. Although he did not win an Olympic medal, he did win a place in the hearts of spectators all around the globe.
This was ultimately due to his lack of success, but more importantly his pure determination and ‘have a go’ attitude.
Eddie’s speech will be an inspiration to all people on how to succeed against all the odds. Eddie is perhaps the best example of a heroic failure, whose perseverance and achievement was – it should be stated – gained without any funding. For that, and for many other reasons, Eddie is more hero than failure, and his story continues to win over audiences.
