Heading back into the studios at the beginning of this year, R J Gibb decided time was of the essence in releasing his father’s, Robin Gibb former member of The Bee Gees, solo album 50 St. Catherines Drive to eagerly awaiting fans. The unfinished album named after the road in which Robin was born, is an exceptional collaboration between the late Robin Gibb and his son Robin-John Gibb, who recorded some outstanding lead vocals on ‘Instant Love’ whilst in the studios. Red Bus Studios couldn’t be happier to hear one of the greatest singer songwriters of our time work live on, with of course the addition of R J Gibb fresh talent added to the mix.
