Bee Gee Barry Gibb's Maori Welcome To Hawke's Bay http://www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz/photos/bee-gee-barry-gibbs-maori-welcome-hawkes-bay/18733/ For this year's Mission Concert artist Barry Gibb, the moment was clearly enchanting and emotional. Three members of a powhiri group which put on a welcome and a cultural greeting for the Bee Gee in Hawke's Bay stepped forward and sang to him, delivering a beautiful rendition of "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?", one of the many songs he and his brothers Robin and Maurice gave to the world. Mr Gibb stood and returned the greeting. "We love you and thank you all for your incredible love," he told the members of the welcoming party, which included students from Karamu High School who delighted their guests with their traditional actions and songs. And Mr Gibb returned their welcome with a beautifully sung "Words."
