At the age of 21 he travelled to Europe of further his studies of music and received tuition in Milan, Germany and London. In Italy he sang operatic works so successfully that he was asked to remain in Italy and take out naturalisation papers. When Sims Reeves retired, he paid Newbury the high tribute of proclaiming him as his successor. He also had the honour of singing before three generations of English royalty. On his return to New Zealand he sang in numerous concerts for the Dunedin Choral and Orchestral Societies.
