Notes from School

• Ep 26: The Endless Harmony of The King's Singers with Chris Bruerton and Julian Gregory

  The school term has ended and in fitting fashion, this will be the final episode of this season of Notes from School. I'm absolutely thrilled to be joined by two members of the legendary vocal group The King’s Singers. I have loved listening to this group since I was a teenager and it's honestly fascinating to hear all about life in the group. I speak to Chris Bruerton and Jules Gregory all about their journeys into the group all the way through to how important singing is for physical and mental health. The musical harmony is literally supported by the emotional harmony between the six singers. Make sure you listen to the end for the quick fire round of questions. Chris and Jules reveal their favourite countries to perform in, ultimate show closers and their favourite tour snacks!As well as all this, we chat talk about:👔 Life inside one of the world’s most prestigious a cappella ensembles🏫 How school music shaped their journeys🎼 Balancing tradition and innovation in their unique sound🧠 Music, wellbeing, and mental health on the road🎵 Why singing still matters—especially in schools today📣 Find out more about The King’s Singers: https://www.kingssingers.comhttps://www.instagram.com/kingssingers/https://www.facebook.com/kingssingers#TheKingsSingers #NotesFromSchool #PrimarySchoolBangers #MusicEducation #SingingInSchoolsSend us a text~~~ I am on tour all year, across the UK and you can book your tickets at: https://jamesbpartridge.com/ ~~~ Follow me on socials at: Instagram: http://instagram.com/jamesbpartridge Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesBPartridgeOfficial/ TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@jamesbpartridge YouTube: http://youtube.com/jamesbpartridge Send me a message: [email protected] ~~~ Find the podcast on all streaming services and leave a review if you've enjoyed it!

• Ep 22: Glastonbury hype and chat with Dan Partridge

  This week I have invited my brother, and musical theatre star, Dan Partridge onto the Notes from School podcast. We chat about everything Glastonbury Festival, from our favourite acts and areas to the experience of performing there in 2024. I try not to make Dan to sad as he is on tour this summer and can’t make the festival…Apologies also for the lack of episode last week. I recorded a whole special episode tribute to Brian Wilson passing and the Beach Boys but I dropped my hard drive and lost all the files! Maybe I will do it again at some point. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this and if you’re going to the festival…see you on the farm!If you have enjoyed the episode please feel free to leave a comment or review.
