Fans of the Bee Gees pop group march along Carnby-street, collecting signatures for a petition to protest against the Home Office’s refusal to let the group’s two Australian-born musicians stay on in Britain after September 17.
The placard-carrying fans also collected an order from the policeman in the picture. Move on, he told them.

Robin Gibb (18), lead singer of chart topping pop group The Bee Gees at Regent’s Park Nursing Home in London 29th July 1968.
Você que gosta de Bee Gees, principalmente do trabalho do Robin, conheça o “Robin Gibb made in Brazil”, o nome dele é Roger (Gibb), na minha opinião essa é uma das mais perfeitas e similares interpretações da música “Sincere Relation” que já ouvi, aproveite e confira outras canções que ele canta e toca junto com o Daniel, ambos são muito talentosos com a “música” (tocam diversos instrumentos), além de ter um amplo conhecimento sobre a vida e obra dos irmãos, enfim, “grandes” e verdadeiros fãs.

Ex-Bee Gee, Robin Gibb‘s performance at a non-stop two day pop festival is cut short after only 30 minutes when fans break through fences and mob the stage. The singer, now pursuing a solo career, is taken away in an armoured van while security guards grapple with the fans. He had been paid $ 10,000 New Zealand (approx. £ 5,000) for a 90 minute set at the Redwood Park Festival in Swanson, a suburb of Aukland. He completed the set the next night after organisers appealed to fans for calm. No chances were being taken as he appeared with two security men on stage and four guard dogs in the wings.
