What began as playful performances for his pupils has grown into a nationwide phenomenon – from TikTok fame to closing the field at Glastonbury Festival. With recent appearances on Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 2, The One Show and Songs of Praise, James has never been more in demand – and with the majority of his 2025 Christmas tour selling out well in advance, early booking is strongly advised.
Whether you’re organising the work Christmas party, planning that festive night out with friends, or simply treating yourself to the perfect pre-Christmas warm-up – this is guaranteed to get you, and everyone around you, well and truly in the spirit. Mulled wine in hand, the whole room singing Calypso Carol like it’s the last day of term – the kind of communal magic that lingers all the way to Boxing Day.
James says: “I’ve always loved how the songs we sang as children at Christmas brought so much joy. 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.”
