TWO members of the boy band 5ive - including Bromsgrove's Ritchie Neville - have appeared in court in connection with a brawl in a Dublin bar.

Neville, aged 21 - who gave his name in court as Richard Dobson - and Jason Brown, 23, were arrested after an alleged scuffle in which a man was assaulted.

They appeared dressed in dark suits before Dublin District Court, charged with public disorder and breaching the peace.

Brown was also charged with assault.

They were remanded on bail to return to the court on Wednesday, January 10.

The band is in Dublin as part of a tour. The concerts are scheduled to go ahead as planned.

The alleged brawl happened at the Palace Bar in Fleet Street.

5ive's hits include Keep On Movin' and a cover version of the Queen song We Will Rock You.
