James B Partridge: Primary School Bangers

About James B Partridge: Primary School Bangers

James B Partridge’s Primary School Bangers is the live show that’s taken the UK by storm – a joyful celebration of the school assembly songs we all grew up with. After going viral with millions of views on TikTok, James has sold out theatres nationwide, with The Times calling him a “phenomenon.” Festival highlights include Latitude, Camp Bestival, Edinburgh Fringe and Glastonbury 2025, where his set was so popular the Theatre Field had to be shut down for safety. 

What can audiences expect? A night packed with the unforgettable songs of childhood assemblies, brought to life with James’s infectious energy, playful mash-ups, and plenty of audience participation. Think “He’s Got the Whole World,” “When I Needed a Neighbour” and “Shine Jesus Shine” – but bigger, louder and funnier than you’ve ever heard them before. 

James’s journey has also seen him appear on BBC Breakfast, The One Show, Songs of Praise and ITV’s Loose Women, as well as performing alongside legends like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Electric Light Orchestra. From classrooms to Glastonbury and now to Gloucester, Primary School Bangers is an unmissable evening of nostalgia, joy and the ultimate communal singalong. Book early – tickets will go fast!
