STAYING ALIVE - A TRIBUTE TO THE BEE GEES

The music of the Bee Gees will be recreated in intimate concert style by the Centrestage All-Star Band, this time fronted by the incredible vocal talents of Andre Strydom and Roger Gilson.

Strydom manages to capture the distinctive Barry Gibb falsetto sound perfectly on popular songs such as How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Massachussetts, I've Got to Get a Message to You and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

Guest artist Carin Strydom lends her stunning voice to Bee Gees penned duets such as Islands in the Stream, the popular Streisand/Gibb hit Guilty, Chain Reaction and the Celine Dion showstopper but Gibb penned Immortality.

Donovan Hattingh leads the popular band musically and plays electric guitar once more, assisted by Wayne Kallis on acoustic, Gino Fabbri on drums and Mike McAullyon bass. The keyboard duo of Rory McLaren and Candy G once again recreate the intricate keyboard and synthesizer sounds which are the backbone of the Bee Gees disco sound.

The initial run of the show in August last year drew 4 sold out houses at the Opera House - and subsequent calls for the show's return from fans who could not get tickets as a result.

The show includes popular Bee Gees songs from the disco era such as Staying Alive, Saturday Night Fever, You Should Be Dancing, Grease, Jive Talking, Nights on Broadway and Tragedy, while popular more recent songs such as You Win Again and Alone are also included. Some poignantly recognisable favourites of yesteryear are also part of the lineup - songs such as New York Mining Disaster, Words, Run to Me, First of May and For Whom the Bell tolls are guaranteed to bring back memories.
