Review – Primary School Assembly Bangers Live by James Partridge

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Tiktok and online superstar James Partridge brings his much loved online “School Assembly “ content to life in Primary School Assembly Bangers Live and invites you to join the Assembly choir at the Edinburgh fringe festival.


James encourages you from the beginning to sing along and provides a handy QR code to scan for the lyrics to all the songs to which you can join in and be part of his choir. He takes you on a nostalgic journey back to your childhood primary school days and school assembly’s performing some classic “bangers” and audience favourites, including some 90’s school disco hits.


James natural showmanship shines through, and between songs, his storytelling captures your heart and brings a real feeling of nostalgia to the audience. He is the music teacher we all wish we had at school and makes music fun for everyone.


This show is light-hearted fun for all ages and full of funny musical surprises along the way. A great way to start your afternoon at the fringe with a singalong.


James has managed to bring a real sense of community to his show and makes everyone feel welcome. Primary School Assembly Bangers is on at the Gilded Balloon at the museum every day at 11.45am until 17th August.
