Thame Out The complimentary magazine for the Thame area
Focus on a musical legend
Robin Gibb CBE was a singer, songwriter and record producer, who gained worldwide fame as a member of the Bee Gees, with older brother Barry and fraternal twin brother Maurice. Robin Gibb also had his own successful solo career.
Robin Gibb was a much loved member of our community and lived in his family home, The Prebendal in Thame from 1984 until his death on 20th May 2012. He is buried in St. Mary’s Churchyard opposite.
In partnership with his widow Dwina Gibb, Thame Museum is proud to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death with an exhibition of photographs, (many from Dwina’s own personal archive and not seen before in public), and memorabilia belonging to this icon of 20th Century music. A specially commissioned, limited edition Commemorative Brochure will be available to purchase from the museum shop, along with other specially curated merchandise, including CDs of his last work, The Titanic. Requiem, written with his son R-J.
“We are thrilled to be working with Dwina Gibb who has so generously supported this exhibition”. (Adrian Dite, Chairman Thame Museum)
The Tribute Exhibition will open to the Public on Saturday 21st May and will run throughout the summer. Entrance is free.
Thame Museum is an accredited charity, housed in the former magistrate’s court. It is run entirely by volunteers. The museum tells the story of Thame, from pre-Anglo- Saxon time through to the present day, including Thame’s pivotal role in the Civil War.
