Gary Barlow enjoys a songwriting masterclass with Barry Gibb. With the Bee Gees, Barry sold over 220 million records and wrote the classics Words and Islands In The Stream

Gary Barlow extends his personal conversations with some of the world’s most exciting songwriters as he delves beyond the melodies and lyrics to discover the stories behind the songs. Talking to the songwriting genius Barry Gibb from his home in Miami, Barry reveals what it was like to work with Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross. He also reveals how he faced the music after his brothers passed away. Barry and Gary agreed there was ‘nothing normal about being in a pop group’ and Barry shared how he’s stayed sane in a music career that has lasted over six decades. He also spoke about his new album ‘Greenfields’ which he recorded in the RCA studios in Nashville with Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Olivia Newton-John and more. As part of the Bee Gees Barry sold over 220 million records and his songs topped the charts decade after decade - sounding fresh and legendary at the same time. Tragedy, Words and Islands In The Stream all came from the musical mind of this songwriting master.
