    Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the skiffle/rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia, later to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their twelfth single), they returned to the UK in January 1967, when producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience. The Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977) was the turning point of their career, with both the film and soundtrack having a cultural impact throughout the world, enhancing the disco scene's mainstream appeal.

    So strictly speaking whilst the members came from the IOM the group did in fact originate in Australia :D

    As I'm a sucker for a far-fetched conspiracy theory - the Bee Gees are clearly buying us in honour of their early drummer, the one and only Mr Barnsley (Russell) who can still be heard creating the beat on the aforementioned Spicks and Specks!

    When the BeeGees complete their takeover they could get their mate Diana Ross to recreate that penalty miss she did at the world cup
