London, Wednesday 5 June 2024
Josh Berger CBE - Founder and Chairman of Battersea Entertainment and Chair of Trustees of The BRIT School (pictured below) and Stuart Worden, Principal of The BRIT School, hosted a fundraiser at iconic music venue Ronnie Scott’s in aid of raising funds for the school.
