📚We are very excited to announce Thame Museum will be hosting on 5th Sept an audience with Andrew Môn Hughes & Grant Walters, the authors of the triology....
📖 DECADES: The Bee Gees in the 1960s
📖 DECADES: The Bee Gees in the 1970s
📖 DECADES: The Bee Gees in the 1980s

🔈Live at Thame Museum, home of The Official Robin Gibb Gallery...come and listen to the authors as they talk about their latest book Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1980s”.🎶

🎤In the words of Andrew Môn Hughes & Grant Walters; "this is the first true deep dive into The Bee Gees’ 1980s journey from start to finish, with track-by-track narrative for all Bee Gees material, Andy’s work, solo projects, production work for other artists, and everything in between. We have brand new interviews with co-producers Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson, engineer Dennis Hetzendorfer, and Joe Mardin (son of Arif Mardin), among others. Once again, Spencer Gibb has supplied us with a fantastic, reflective foreword."

Their latest book DECADES: The Bee Gees in the 1980s is the biggest book in the series yet. Due for release in the UK in June.

In the words of the publisher: “It’s a beast!”

The Bee Gees’ 1980s story is one of chart hits, major collaborations, solo projects, film work, and reinvention – yet it’s a period that has often been overlooked. This book changes that, packed with detail, new insights and extensive research, this is the most in-depth examination of the group’s 1980s career ever published.

We can't wait to welcome Andrew Môn Hughes & Grant Walters to Thame Muuseum on 5th September 2026! Tickets on sale now with all proceeds going directly to Thame Museum.

And if you can't make it to Thame you can purchase a Livestream Ticket from Thame Museum and watch it from anywhere in the world!

🔹️The Building Stories Exhibition is now on! Discover more about buildings in our town. Did you know...🔎🔎

🔹️On the site of the unattractive, empty Co-op building, there was once a beautiful Mansion House, built by Sir Francis Knollys, treasurer to Elizabeth I.
🔹️The building housed Huguenot priests (1792-1802) who fled France during the Reign of Terror, and then Napoleonic prisoners of war.
In 1808 it was converted into a school with a large assembly hall, a gymnasium with a sprung floor, and a swimming pool.

🔸️Exhibition open Weds, Fri, Sat 10-4, Sun 1-4.
