My name's Jonny I'm a singer song-writer living in York. I was born in Scunthorpe and moved to York about 6 years ago after I finished my drama degree.

It's hard for me to describe my music, other than saying its acoustic. I've always found it difficult to write a song that sits in the middle, they tend to be one extreme or the other. So I coined the phrase of 'Light and Dark acoustic' which I think describes my music pretty well. I just sing about what I know, about what's real to me, and where I've been, be it good or bad. Human emotion plays a big part in my music and I can't help but leave a piece of myself in all of my songs.

The live shows are where it's at, and for me, there's nothing quite like playing in front of an audience.

A cracking night down at the Melbourne with some fantastic live music on show. Starting with newcomers 'Troubador', followed by the haunting acoustic talents of Jonny Dobbs, who is going to do a collaboration with some of the Hijak Oscar boys so it should be a good one! 4 acts in total and all completely free - what more do you want free money? get yerselves down there pronto!.   Add Review

Wow! What a pleasure it is to actually hear someone on an acoustic night who not only has an amazing voice, but uses it to it's full potential, and isn't pretentious about it! This is guy is great, his guitar work is excellent, and he played a lovely set with some really heart-felt songs... especially loved the one about the Weeping Willow Tree, Jonny's first song of the night. Having heard Jonny play before, I can safely say that he is not a one-trick pony, always providing new material... Great guy, great songs, great set. Well done! - Emi-RP

Another top act at this impressive lineup at York Uni's favourite local.Although playing at a gig which frankly isn't as full as it should be - 4 amazing acts on and all for free (check this space in a few weeks though when the students are back in town and the Melbourne starts to fill up) Johnny has the face of someone who belongs firmly in a music career - Richard Ashcroft's younger brother with a voice to quieten the rowdiest bar. A fantastic singer songwriter who really knows his stuff and churns out quality song after song with ease. A real pleasure to see him live at last and look forward to seeing him again soon - check him out! - yorknights
