In a special two-part Record Producers for Radio 2's Bee Gees Bank Holiday, Richard Allinson and Steve Levine look at the work of the Gibb Brothers. With close to fifty years in the industry, programme one concentrates on the 1960s and 1970s, from their early days in Australia through to the phenomenal global success of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Robin Gibb, engineer and fellow producer Karl Richardson and band member Blue Weaver are amongst those interviewed in this first part which includes rarely heard demo material from the brothers as teenagers and a more detailed look at their hits New York Mining Disaster, You Should Be Dancin' and Stayin' Alive.
