VINCE MELOUNEY

London, United Kingdom

Australian guitarist Vince Melouney was a member of The Bee Gees during the band's initial wave of worldwide popularity from 1967 to 1969.
Before he became a Bee Gee, Vince had his first Australian number one hit with Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs and their version of “Poison Ivy.” He also played guitar with The Beatles’ mentor Tony Sheridan and the Joe Meek-produced artists Heinz and Screaming Lord Sutch when they toured Australia in the ‘60s.
As a member of The Bee Gees, Vince appeared on seven US Top 20 singles; "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "To Love Somebody," "Holiday," "Massachusetts," "Words," "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" and "I Started A Joke" plus five US Top 20 albums; "Bee Gees' First," "Horizontal," "Idea,” “Odessa” and “Best Of Bee Gees.”
Vince's latest release "Women" features Vince joined by Clem Burke (Blondie,) Jonathan Lea (The Jigsaw Seen) and Alec Palao and Paul Kopf of Strangers In A Strange Land and was produced by the legendary Shel Talmy.
