From his first solo at age five in a school choir, John Royce has been captivating audiences for decades. He formed his first band while still in grammar school and has since built a rich performing career across pubs, clubs, and venues throughout the North of England.
John’s versatile repertoire spans genres from Classic Rock and Pop to Country, with covers ranging from the late 1950s right through to today’s favourites. His distinctive voice and engaging style make him a hit with all ages.
These days, John brings joy to residents in retirement and care homes, while continuing to perform on the northern club circuit—both as a solo act and alongside fellow performer John Barber in their lively duo, The 2Js.
Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, bah mitzvah, or even a divorce or funeral (yes, really!), John’s ready to bring the music and the magic. He’s fully self-contained and adaptable to any event.

What people say about John...
'Tonight at the New Heseldon Club in Murton I saw John's performance. He sang a great range of songs. Has a great sense of humour which went down well with the audience. He had us all joining in with songs. At the end, his mic went down and as a professional, he kept it going... singing without mic etc, and had us all singing along. A really good night out. Definitely recommend seeing him.'
