Following a hugely successful 2025 tour, which saw venues across the UK filled with festive singalongs – and with his Primary School Bangers tour continuing to sell out nationwide in 2026, including a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer, James’s feel-good phenomenon shows no sign of slowing.

From Jingle Bells to This Little Light of Mine, The Big Christmas Assembly is the perfect blend of festive favourites, primary school memories and a joyful night out with friends and family.

Expect full-voiced singalongs, nostalgic throwbacks and the unmistakable warmth and humour that have made James a beloved live performer across the UK. James said: “2026 has already been such an incredible year, and what better way to round it off than with The Big Christmas Assembly.

"I’ve always loved how the songs we sang as children at Christmas time brought so much joy and excitement.

"This show is a celebration of those moments, from assembly halls to nativity plays and I can’t wait to see audiences relive them together in the most festive, feel-good way possible.” What began as a handful of playful social media videos for his pupils has grown into a genuine national phenomenon.

From viral fame to a standout Glastonbury performance, James has taken his unique brand of musical nostalgia from the classroom to some of the UK’s biggest stages. His journey has included performing with Gareth Malone’s Voices at the Royal Variety Show and providing vocals for global icons including Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Electric Light Orchestra.

His media appearances span BBC Breakfast, The One Show, CBBC Newsround, BBC Scotland, ITV’s This Morning, BBC Radio 2 and Virgin Radio.
