REVIEW: Primary School Assembly Bangers Live | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024

"Joyous and jovial with witty wistfulness!"

Debuting at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year, James B Partridge takes us down memory lane for an hour of delightful reminiscing as we singalong to some Primary School Assembly Bangers Live!


From the get-go, we become part of his choir, singing not only the hymns and songs from our school days, but also some banging throwback mashups – who doesn’t love a 90's megamix?!


James isn’t just your average music teacher; he has mastered the art of engaging and entertaining his audience. Regaling his youth with witty wistfulness, we travel back in time with him at the helm.


Being a 90's kid myself, the show is pure nostalgia, especially when he performs the instantly recognisable songs from popular TV ads like…“There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there.” IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW!!!


Primary School Assembly Bangers Live is a joyous and jovial nod to the good old school days for kids and teachers of the 90's.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE

For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.


From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.


The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.


There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
