Goosfest - Jive Talkin' – Clonter Opera Theatre, Congleton

About this event

Jive Talkin' is a concert-tribute built around three vocalists re-creating the Bee Gees' sibling front-man dynamic. As presented by Goosfest and matching the cast page at beegeestribute.com, brothers Gary and Darren Simmons take the Barry and Maurice Gibb roles, and Darren's son Jack Simmons takes the Robin Gibb role. The trio is accompanied by a four-piece band of professional musicians. The show is promoted as the only Bee Gees tribute to have once performed live with the original Bee Gees: Gary and Darren Simmons shared a 1997 Heart FM appearance with Maurice Gibb, who called them 'absolutely brilliant'. Marketing highlights a 'soundalike quality' described by The Stage as 'quite sensational', and an 'amazing similarity' noted by the Wakefield Express. The Clonter booking is at Clonter Opera Theatre with 7:30pm curtain and doors at 6:30pm. Tickets were sold by Goosfest and are currently showing as sold out; the performance is active, not cancelled.
