Festive nostalgia singalong show by singer and pianist James B Partridge, full of Christmas classics, throwback mashups and stories.
James B Partridge brings The Big Christmas Assembly to The Engine Shed in Lincoln on Tuesday 21 December. It's a festive singalong that takes school assembly songs and turns them into a full-room performance, with Partridge himself on piano and vocals.
The whole thing started as a bit of fun Partridge did for his own pupils, and from there it grew into a nationwide tour. It's come a long way from the classroom, with TikTok fame along the way and a slot closing the field at Glastonbury Festival. He's gone from being a primary school teacher to a viral sensation, and he's described as the UK's most beloved bringer of school assembly nostalgia. He's appeared on BBC Breakfast, This Morning, The One Show, Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 2 and Songs of Praise.
The show is built around Primary School Bangers, the act that turns those familiar assembly songs into sell-out performances. On the night, the set is a nostalgic, feel-good festive singalong packed with Christmas classics, throwback mashups and laugh-out-loud stories. It's exactly what it sounds like: a room full of people singing along to the songs you probably still know by heart from school, with Partridge leading from the piano.
