In June 1974, Gibb formed his first group, Melody Fayre (named after a Bee Gees song), which included Isle of Man musicians John Alderson on guitar and John Stringer on drums. He quit school at the age of 13, and with an acoustic guitar given to him by his older brother Barry, he began playing at tourist clubs around Ibiza, Spain (when his parents moved there), and later in the Isle of Man, his brothers' birthplace, where his parents were living at the time. He used to try to get me to buy him beer when he was underage – he would only have been about 11 or 12. It was unheard of in those days! But he was just a cheeky little lad with a heart of gold. Producer and film director Tom Kennedy described Andy's personality on his childhood: “Īndy was always around – he was this cheeky little lad, Hugh and Barbara doted on him, so he would have a limo to go around London with his pals and twenty quid to go to the cinema. He'd wander back home around lunchtime smelling of horse manure, yet he'd swear he had been at school. I'd send him off to school, but he'd sneak off to the stable and sleep with his two horses all day. In his childhood, his mother Barbara described Andy as 'A little devil, a little monster. After moving several times around Brisbane and Sydney, Andy returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 as his three older brothers began to gain international fame as the Bee Gees. He had four siblings: his sister Lesley, and three brothers, Barry and fraternal twins Robin and Maurice.Īt the age of six months, Gibb emigrated with his family to Queensland, Australia, settling on Cribb Island just north of Brisbane.
