This year, the Battersea Jazz Festival is raising money for the Lily Foundation. 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 you purchase will be donated directly to the Foundation’s work.

The #batterseajazzfestival is back at the iconic @theclaphamgrand for the third year running, after two unforgettable shows in 2023 and 2024. On Sunday 6th July, there will be a very special performance celebrating the music of Duke Ellington.
With a lineup of London’s biggest big band combined with a combination of more than three different choirs, this evening will be a guaranteed Tour de Force where swinging jazz meets beautiful choral music.
The South London Jazz Orchestra, conducted by festival Founder and Director Hugo Jennings, will perform classics from the Duke Ellington Orchestra Songbook, and then be joined by a large choir featuring members of London Sings!, Thames Philharmonic, St Mary’s Battersea and many other groups to perform selections from the Sacred Concerts. Written in the 1960s and 70s, these pieces are a mixture of raucous celebration and beautiful emotional outpourings, and the rare combination of a big band with large choir will make this a very special occasion.
Early bird tickets on sale until the 1st May!

The next venue for this year’s Battersea Jazz Festival: St Mary’s Battersea.
This stunning, Grade I listed riverside church has hosted countless jazz events in the last three years, as well as monthly jazz nights (visit @jazzatstmarys for more info), and will be the stage for no fewer than three events at this year’s festival.
On Friday 4th July 8pm, we will be welcoming the new trio project, “Sula”, led by up-and-coming drummer @miranda_drumming to perform both their original compositions and other music inspired by the energetic, contemporary sound of today. She will be joined by @4lleks and @keziaabuoma.
Then on Saturday 5th July at 3pm, saxophonist Allison Neale will be presenting a special project with guitarist Colin Oxley, which recreates the magical pairing of Paul Desmond and Jim Hall, backed by two of the finest rhythm section players in British jazz, Jeremy Brown and Matt Fishwick.
And finally, also on Saturday 5th July but at 8pm, we will be bringing Daniele Gorgone, one of the most respected pianists in Italy, with his trio from Pisa. His trio is rooted in the most pure tradition, but at the same time exists and lives in the present.
And of course, there’s the small matter of the choir of St Mary’s being part of our celebration of Duke Ellington at the Clapham Grand on Saturday 6th at 7pm, featuring a huge choir backed by London’s biggest big band.
