This holiday season, relive the magic of your childhood with James B Partridge, the beloved primary school music teacher turned nostalgic sensation, as he takes THE BIG CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY on tour, which includes a show at Komedia in Brighton on the 3rd December!
From the best Christmas songs of our youth to classic primary school bangers, this unique live show promises to be the perfect festive night out for the whole family.
What started as a few playful posts on social media with James performing iconic school songs to entertain his students, soon developed into something a whole lot bigger. The videos took on a life of their own, tapping into nostalgic hearts across the nation. Primary School Assembly Bangers was born from these videos and since early 2023 James has taken his live version of the school assembly all across the UK, with multiple sets at this year’s Glastonbury Festival going instantly viral.
Now, with The Big Christmas Assembly tour, James is set to bring even more joy and laughter as he leads audiences in sing-alongs of beloved Christmas carols and all-time favourite school assembly hits. From Jingle Bellsto This Little Light of Mine; it’s the perfect blend of holiday cheer, primary school memories and a great night out with friends and family.
James says “I’ve always loved how the songs we sang as children at Christmas time brought so much joy and excitement. The Big Christmas Assembly is a celebration of those songs and the fun we had, whether it was singing in assemblies or practising for the Christmas nativity. I can’t wait to see the audience relive those moments!”
James’s musical journey has taken him from school classrooms to some of the biggest stages in the UK, including performing with Gareth Malone’s Voices at the Royal Variety Show and providing vocals for major artists like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Electric Light Orchestra. But now the media spotlight has found him, and James has since appeared on BBC Breakfast, The One Show, CBBC Newsround and BBC Scotland with additional features on ITV This Morning, BBC Radio 2 with Jeremy Vine, Scott Mills and Tom Allen’s Virgin Radio show.
Whether you’re reminiscing about your own school days or introducing these classic songs to a new generation, The Big Christmas Assembly is guaranteed to provide the (festive) cheer!
