Tribute concert event for Jake Marlowe raises vital funds for Kisharon Langdon

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”.
