Business in Newbury - Scott Robinson and Georgie Swan

Pop Stars Visit Newbury College!!!

Students at Newbury College were entertained by Scott Robinson who was a member of the Boy Band ‘5ive’ along with up and coming artist Georgie Swan on Thursday 6th September at the open air amphitheatre in the Monks Lane campus.

Scott is currently working on his solo projects that will be set for release early next year. Georgie has recently been signed by Killer Management, which is run by Scott and Chris Brooks, who is the afternoon DJ at London’s 95.8 Capital Radio.

A big crowd of students as well as staff turned out to see the show and were given a fun and entertaining performance. Students were able to chat to the stars after the performance and grab an autography too. Scott was thrilled to visit the College and said, “It’s a great College, I can’t believe how well kept it is, the building is lovely. The students were great fun, I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.”

After the performance Scott and Georgie held an audience with the Performing Arts students where they gave advice and guidance on working within the entertainment industry. Scott talked about his experiences with ‘5ive’ and what he’s been trying to achieve since and said, "Half the battle is having faith in yourself." Georgie went on to say, "No matter what life throws at you, you've just got to carry on and get on with it."
