The Vince Maloney Sect | en

Vince Melouney (born 18 August 1945, Sydney, Australia) was a founding member of Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, playing with the band as lead guitarist from 1963 to 1965, which was followed by a short-lived duo with fellow Aztec Tony Barber, called Vince & Tony's Two.

In 1967, after moving to the UK, he was invited to join the Bee Gees. He was the lead guitarist on their first three albums; Bee Gees' 1st, Horizontal, and Idea. In November 1968 it was reported by the UK music magazine, NME, that Melouney's final concert with the Bee Gees would be on 1 December, following the end of their current German tour.

In 1969 he formed a short-lived supergroup, Fanny Adams, with the singer Doug Parkinson, bassist Teddy Toi and drummer Johnny Dick, who recorded one album. He rejoined the Bee Gees for the One Night Only Concert held in Sydney, Australia in 1999 and rejoined Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs for a tour in 2002/3. At the completion of that tour, he completed his first solo album, released with the title "Covers" which had ten cover versions of songs including Love Her Madly, Come Together, and Lay Down Sally. .
