Fans of Christmas spirit and school assembly nostalgia, rejoice! After overwhelming demand for his current 2024 Christmas Assembly tour, which kicked off in Belfast this past weekend and will continue across the UK until December 23rd, the nation’s favourite primary school teacher-turned-Glastonbury-sensation, James B Partridge, is planning an even bigger holiday season for 2025 with The Big Christmas Assembly! Launching at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal on November 2nd, 2025, this festive tour will bring holiday joy to every corner of the UK through December 22nd, leaving just enough time for James to squeeze in some last-minute Christmas shopping.
James’s 2025 schedule is packed, as his Primary School Assembly Bangers tour is set to begin in late January. This nostalgic tour brings classic school assembly songs from our collective youth to audiences across the UK. With stops from Salisbury to Gateshead and even the Isle of Man, Primary School Assembly Bangers promises singalongs and beloved tunes for an evening full of shared memories and fun.
What began as a few playful social media videos of James performing iconic school songs for his students quickly turned into a nationwide sensation. These videos resonated deeply, tapping into nostalgic hearts across the UK and sparking the creation of Primary School Assembly Bangers. Since early 2023, James has brought this live school-assembly experience to stages nationwide, with viral performances at Glastonbury Festival.
James’s journey has taken him from school classrooms to some of the UK’s biggest stages. Highlights include 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. His media presence has only grown, with appearances on BBC Breakfast, The One Show, CBBC Newsround, BBC Scotland, ITV’s This Morning, BBC Radio 2 with Jeremy Vine and Scott Mills, and Virgin Radio with Tom Allen.
