My name is Bobby Joyce and I'm a singer/songwriter from Hull, England.
I play mainly around the Hull/East Riding area and perform a good mixture of my own songs and also some interesting cover versions. I run a great open mic night every Thursday at the Grafton Pub, just off Newland Avenue with my good pal Neil Kirton (from Tuesdays at Tap). All performers are welcome so if you would like to play please drop me a message or just turn up on the night and say hello! Here are some nice things people have said about me:
"One of the best acoustics acts in Hull" - Music HQ
"Catchy original songs with a naturally powerful voice" - Thisisull.com
"Fantastic" - BBC Raw Talent
If you like what you hear, please add me to your friends. I am also happy to send anyone a FREE cd of my songs - please just ask.
Thanks for stopping by. Live BBC Session of my song Goldfish Bowl

Bobby - Will definitely get down there to the bonny, bonny Banks before long - really glad things are going well. Keep up the good work lads! Cheers, stevo
No probs Bobby, I had a good night! You've got a good night going down there! Was good to meet your old fella too. Nice to see that entertainment runs in the family!
Had a great night at The Triton. Was a really nice little crowd. I'm down in London at the mo, checking out the scene. Been round Camden crawl tonight, it's manic, but fun! I'm travelling back on Tuesday to get back for the Tap gig. Hopefully see you there!
Hiya Bobby, yep I'll get down to the Banks someday soon hopefully. Thanks for reminding me. It's just that I'm in training at the moment, cos I've heard City are after a new striker and I'm thinking there's nowt wrong with me nipping down to the training ground with my boots and having a word with Brownie. Can't do much worse than the suckers they've got at the moment!
