A Leeds-born singer-songwriter has embarked on a marathon tour of Israel to entertain and raise the spirits of soldiers and evacuees.

Jason Feddy, who is on his second self-funded musical trip round Israel in three months, is playing 12 concerts in two weeks. He is performing at hotels and venues in Netanya, Haifa, Tel Aviv, as well as at an army base.

On 8 October, the day after the Hamas attack, Feddy — who has opened for Neil Young at Glastonbury Festival, supported The Cranberries and Tears for Fears, and performed at the Royal Albert Hall — told his wife, Ava, that with all their family members based in Israel, he wanted to go there to support them. The pair married in 2010 at Tuval; members of Feddy’s family had founded the kibbutz. The couple are now planning on making aliyah.
