Author, DJ, member of St Etienne and a regular on our podcasts, Bob Stanley was the second guest at our sun-baked garden party in the auditorium of Opera Holland Park on June 3 talking about his new book \\u201cBee Gees: Children Of the World\\u201d. He feels \\u2013 and very rightly \\u2013 that in some quarters they\\u2019re still the punchline to a heartless joke and deserve infinitely more critical respect. This illuminating conversation touches on the \\u201cteenage delinquent\\u201d years in Manchester, their struggles in Australia, signing with Robert Stigwood, success and how badly they handled it, what the press made of them, how they invented the sound of Jive Talkin\\u2019 and Night Fever, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, why they were known as \\u201cPilly, Potty and Boozy\\u201d and the various people who\\u2019ve loudly sung their praises \\u2013 Diana Ross, Pet Shop Boys, Take That and Noel Gallagher among them.
