Redcliffe will come alive with a pop-up performance by a Bee Gees kazoo flash mob on Sunday (June 21) at Bee Gees Way. As part of its Make Music Month celebrations, council wants kazoo players of all abilities to make ‘Night Fever’ history with the flash mob from 9:30am on Sunday. The event coincides with the international Make Music Day, where free live music is performed in public places across 120 countries. Mayor Peter Flannery says they are proud to be home to the Bee Gees. “Council established Bee Gees Way along the Redcliffe foreshore in 2013 to give residents and tourists the opportunity to take a trip down memory lane with one of the world’s biggest musical groups,” he says.
