Eden Golan plays secret gig in London
Her controversial performance at Eurovision in Malmo earlier this year prompted enormous protests and mean-spirited boos and jeers.
But last week spectators in London had nothing but applause for Israeli Eurovision star Eden Golan, 20, as she was joined on stage in a private performance in London by scores of celebrities including Countdown’s Rachel Riley MBE, Fauda’s Rona-Lee Shimon and Emmerdale’s Louisa Clein.
The secret event – which took place at a theatre in the West End and included performances from an ensemble of A-List stars – raised more than £1 million that will be used to rebuild nurseries that had been destroyed on October 7 in Kibbutz Be’eri.
It was one of the worst affected villages of Hamas’s bloodthirsty attack on Israel – with 120 of its residents being murdered and a further 26 taken hostage during the terrorist group’s murderous rampage.
Titled Letters, Light and Love, the one-time show included performances from world-class British, American and Israeli entertainers including Olivier award-winning actress Dame Maureen Lipman, Will & Grace star Debra Messing, supermodel Bar Refaeli, Israeli artist Michael Aloni, and Booker-winning novelist Howard Jacobson.
The event’s existence, as well as the time and location of the show were kept completely secret due to significant security fears – with just under 1,000 people being personally invited to the performance.
