He joined the Dominettes by 1960 to replace Colin Smith, who had left to join Jimmy Powells backing group. Colin Smith later changed his name to Carl Barron and became the singer with The Cheetahs. An Elvis Presley fan, Gibbons first performance with The Dominettes was at The California public house near Weoley Castle. Gibbons teamed up with guitarist Trevor Burton from The Move in 1969 and, by April of that year, they had formed a new group called Balls, along with singer/guitarist Denny Laine (formerly of the Moody Blues), and Uglys drummer Keith Smart. The project was relatively short lived and after recording a solo album, Gibbons left the band in February 1971 Gibbons formed the Dylan Project in the late 1990s. The trio covered Bob Dylan songs and played material by Gibbons. Gibbons continues to tour with his band, and is also a member of the hit UK show Brum Rocks Live, along with Bev Bevan (The Move, ELO), Trevor Burton (The Move), Danny King, and writer Laurie Hornsby. The show toured the UK, and was produced and promoted by Brian Yeates Associates. Gibbons lives with his wife Suzie in Edgbaston, Birmingham. They have two sons and a daughter.[5] Gibbons played in concert for the Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children in February 2011
