Evening of Inspiration

Nasheed Factor: Evening of Inspiration 2012

On Sunday 8th April, the Nasheed Factor Team jetted down to the ICC Symphony Hall in Birmingham for the Evening of Inspiration Tour 2012 for the Orphans hosted by Islamic Relief.

The event set-up was mindblowing, the professionalism of Islamic Relief was on form with an army of volunteers not only from Birmingham but from all over the UK, ready to answer the call. The co-ordination of the volunteers, meeting and seating of guests and charismatic attitude they adopted made the night an unforgettable one to say the least.

Over £134,000 raised for orphans through the One Safe Village appeal. With 5 orphans being sponsored from members of the Nasheed Factor Team from Islamic Relief Scotland.

So what did the Nasheed Factor Team get up to?!

From the off start we went behind the scenes to visit all the stars of the show, we started off by meeting Junaid Jamshed, that's right I said it! Junaid Jamshed! Who was practising his vocals for his big performance on the night! Junaid kindly autographed an album wall frame which was professionally made to auction off to raise money. Which will be available on the Nasheed Factor Finale! He showed great interest in Nasheed Factor and praised the cause "Rebuilding People's Lives"

Next up .... Native Deen! 3 young men from the USA who are a phenomenal harmony group with exciting energy, bursting on stage. Being with Native Deen backstage; we realised how down to earth these nasheed artists were. Native Deen kindly shot some footage with us for the Nasheed Factor and signed nasheed memoribilia to auction off to raise money. Their response to hearing about Nasheed Factor was "Damnnn that's hottt".

We also bumped into, met and gret huge stars such as Ahmed Hussain! Preacher Moss! and not to mention SHAAM the Nasheed Group whom we had extensive interviews with regarding Nasheed Factor.

Finally we got to meet the biggest stars of the show .............

Outlandish! The 3 most coolest guys the Nasheed Factor Team have ever met, maxing and relaxing backstage with Outlandish was an unreal experience. They took great interest in Nasheed Factor and were overwhelmed by our Nasheed Factor Arabic Logo Canvas! Outlandish also shot some footage with us for the Nasheed Factor Production.

All in all the Nasheed Factor Team had a very productive night! Despite not getting to actually watch the show, being backstage with some of the top names in the industry provided to be a very interesting, worthwhile and mind blowing experience. The Nasheed Artists response to the concept of Nasheed Factor was uplifting, positive and supportive.
