Battersea Jazz Festival is delighted to announce the appointment of two new Trustees, Deb Browne and Rob King. They will both aid Director Hugo Jennings in continuing to run the festival ahead of its fourth run in July 2025, and will aid in its long-term growth and governance.
Deb Browne is a lifelong musician—a vocalist, trumpeter, and composer—dedicated to making music more accessible. As the founder of iCreateMusic, she leads courses and lessons designed to inspire creativity and inclusivity in music. She also runs Jazzy D’s Presents, a platform showcasing community jazz bands and providing musicians with opportunities to share their talents. Earlier in her career, Deb was signed to East West Atlantic Records through Oval Records in Brixton, working alongside the renowned world music aficionado Charlie Gillett.
Beyond music, Deb has a deep background in business development, wellbeing coaching, and social prescribing. A former footballer and coach, she has spent the past 16 years supporting communities through health initiatives. Based in Lewisham, she has worked with the Russell Martin Foundation in Sussex to develop its public health offer and is the founder of Oretoro, a company providing coaching, wellbeing support, and training workshops.
Now serving as a trustee for the Battersea Jazz Festival, Deb brings a unique blend of musical expertise, community engagement, and business acumen to help shape the festival’s future.
Dr Rob King is Head of Academic Music at a leading independent school in London. An award-nominated composer, conductor, and music researcher, he completed his PhD in composition at Durham University, and his research and music have been presented at international conferences and recitals.
A relative latecomer to jazz (only discovering Miles Davis and John Coltrane as a teacher), it nonetheless chimes with his research interests in expressions of autonomy and freedom through musical gesture, as well as his long and varied work in community music and outreach.

The Battersea Jazz Festival is delighted to be supporting the Lily Foundation for its 2025 edition this July.
The Lily Foundation is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to fighting mitochondrial disease. We’re working towards a world in which every mitochondrial disease patient has a voice and access to treatment, support to improve their life and, ultimately, a cure. 10 million people in the UK suffer from diseases in which mitochondrial dysfunction is believed to be involved, and every other day in the UK a baby is born that will develop mitochondrial disease. The Lily Foundation is fighting to change this.
£1 of every ticket sold at this year’s festival will go the Foundation, and there will be collections taken at the gigs to raise money for their work. Visit this page or batterseajazzfestival.co.uk for more updates about the programme and dates as they come in.
