Ritchie Neville
Richard Neville Dobson (born 23 August 1979) is a British singer, songwriter, sommelier and restaurateur from Solihull, England. He is most noted for being a member of the boy band Five. Career Music The lure of the stage brought him to London where, in 1996 at the age of 17, he saw an advertisement in the national newspaper ''The Stage'', asking for young male singers to audition for a new boy band with "attitude and edge". Neville, J Brown, Sean Conlon, Abs Breen and Scott Robinson, who had during the audition arranged themselves into a group, were subsequently picked and later became Five. Because there were two members named 'Richard' in the band (Abs was born Richard Abidin Breen), Breen used his nickname from his middle name whereas Neville kept his name but shortened to "Ritchie" instead. In 2013 was revealed via Twitter that Five would be taking part in an ITV2 documentary series called ''The Big Reunion''.
