Tribute concert event for Jake Marlowe raises vital funds for Kisharon Langdon
Night of rock music honours the life of 26-year-old ex-JFS pupil murdered at Supernova festival on 7 October.
A heavy metal music event dedicated to the late Jake Marlowe successfully raised £3,000 in support of charity Kisharon Langdon.
Jake, a member of various heavy metal bands including Desolated, was tragically murdered by Hamas while working as a security guard at the Supernova music festival near Gaza on 7th October.
The sell-out event took place in central London, where friends, band members and passionate music fans gathered to remember Jake.
Emotional speeches were delivered by Jake’s father, Michael, and close friends, providing heartfelt reflections on Jake’s life and contributions to the music scene.
Jake’s sister, Natasha, receives support from Kisharon Langdon, making the event even more meaningful. The £3,000 raised will go towards musical initiatives at the organisation, which is dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
Sara Pollins, director of marketing and communications for Kisharon Langdon said: “The heavy metal community came together to honour Jake Marlowe’s memory, showcasing the profound impact he had through his musical endeavors. The event not only celebrated his life but also demonstrated the solidarity and generosity within the heavy metal music community”.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
