The official synopsis for the show reads: "Join James for an evening of pure nostalgia, stepping back in time for some joyous singalong tunes to take you back to your Primary School days.

"You won’t have to sit cross legged on the school hall floor, but you will be encouraged to sing along!

"As well as the assembly bangers, there will be other musical surprises, throwback mashups and comic reflections on growing up in the 90s."

The show has completely sold out at £17 with James set to perform at the Riverfront on Thursday at 8pm. 

The full 'Assembly Bangers Live 2024' tour has been visiting theatres throughout the UK, and will continue to do so until September 27, with the last show in Lichfield.
