Manx-born singer Robin Gibb has recorded a song for charity with the choir of King William's College.

It will be released on CD and DVD in the next few months to raise funds for Hospice Isle of Man.

Tonight the Bee Gee will perform at the Villa Marina in aid of Oskar's Dreams and the Island's Children's Hospice, Rebecca House, which he and his wife Dwina officially opened last week.

No. it was never confirmed to me. This means I couldn't announce it. I still can't. Also so far noone involved has wanted to give me details or share the photos and videos that supposedly were taken at recording. I've been making numerous calls over the past 72 hours about this topic, none have been returned. Noone can say when this comes out, where it comes out, what the exact format is and how fans can buy it. I can't make announcements on the main site with that basic information missing. As far as I'm concerned these press announcements are premature. the idea of recording it is mentioned in the next newsletter from Robin that was ready to go out but then I couldn't send it cos a PR from Rhino we had been expecting last week got delayed and so our newsletter couldn't and still can't go out as we wait for that embargo to be lifted. It's not always simple! So sorry, can't help at this moment.

It's ok, Ann. We know that you give us the information as soon as you get it. It's just that we are so impatient. Please, bear with us. :lol:

Can't wait for the next newsletter. :P

Thats okay Ann you are doing a wonderful job on Robin website!

Yeah that!

Yep...that's us....if you look in the dictionary under impatient you will see all of our names! :P
I would much rather have the confirmed information rather than confusing bits and pieces. So we must be patient....( look that up and you'll find no names at all!! )

Patient ????? Mmmmm...whats that ????? !!!!! LOL

You can watch Robin performing Ellan Vannin with the King William's College choir inside St Thomas Chapel in Castletown, IOM. The video was filmed last Monday.
