The next international Israeli superstar?


Hadar Manor Posted by Hello

Remember -- you saw her here first (unless you happened to pick up today's Evening Standard). This is Hadar Manor, 23, formerly a lieutenant in the Israeli army, and for the past year or so, a busker (!) on the London underground. Recently, she was spotted by two record companies playing and singing in various tube stations, and now she's about to be featured on a (usually) highbrow tv show on the arts. Sounds like we may be hearing a lot more from her in the future. One thing's for sure: when I travel on the tube each day, I'll be taking a much closer look at who's providing the musical entertainment.
