Robin Gibb releases track in aid of Hospice Isle of Man

SWAYING gently and gazing skywards, Bee Gee Robin Gibb is captivated by the beautiful voices of the King William's College choir.
 
This image, from the video for his gospel-inspired Homecoming Mix of Manx ballad Ellan Vannin, proves the pop legend still gets lost in music after five decades in the industry.
 
The 58-year-old hopes his reworking of the classic song, recorded in aid of Hospice Isle of Man, will hold as much appeal for Manx music lovers.

It is now available to download as an audio track for £1.49 - or £1.99 including the video shot in the St Thomas Chapel at King William's College – with all profits going to the charity.

It will also be included on a DVD due to be launched in early 2009 to coincide with the Bee Gees' 50th anniversary, featuring Isle of Man artists performing Bee Gee hits.

Ellan Vannin has always been popular with the Douglas-born Gibb brothers Robin, Barry and the late Maurice, who recorded a Bee Gees cover version.

Robin performed his new version at Isle of Man Newspapers' Awards for Excellence in November, after receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the Bee Gees.

He dedicated proceeds from sales of the single to the hospice after being impressed with its work to improve the quality of life of adults and children with terminal illnesses.

Last month, he pledged his continued support to the organisation as he offically opened Rebecca House children's hospice.

Robin and Hospice Isle of Man wish to thank RBS International for sponsoring the recording, and DAM Productions/Running Media and Duke Video for their support with the video.
