Spring Term 2020

Welcome to Got Soul Choir

A view from the heart: Life is tough enough and every now and then an opportunity comes along to step outside the box of everyday normal life to do something we always wanted to do, like singing, to ignite a flame that burns within, which then shines out and helps ignite the flame in others. heart‘n’soul

GOT SOUL charity was founded by Maryam Ghaffari in 2012, with three decades experience of working with various communities, vocal groups, bands, soloists, choirs and BBC Radio 1 airplay as an artist. She has a First-Class Hons Degree in Music with Visual Practice from the University of Brighton, where she later became a guest lecturer.

Besides music, she has qualifications in psychotherapy and teaching. Maryam has achieved musical success and industry recognition by appearing on various compilation albums, as well as being a TV judge on BBC One’s singing competition “All Together Now”. TWO T SHIRTS…AND A DREAM COME TRUE

In 2012 I was going through a difficult time and found myself feeling pretty lonely and isolated. I was not at all interested in meeting people for the sake of meeting people. I wanted to connect with others through a shared passion with a meaningful purpose. I found the idea of joining any old social group really unappealing. I wanted to do something so that people like me – with a love for soul music – could get together and have some fun. You see, soul music, for me, is a bit like a light switch – you flick it, and instantly the light comes on. Not having had any children, I wanted to leave something behind. I’d been wanting to get involved with charity work but not as a one-time event – parachuting out of a plane or running across the Sahara. And so the idea of the Choir was born. And from my own experience I knew that it should become a charity with a purpose of bringing people out of loneliness and isolation. Armed with enough money to print two T shirts with our logo, I let a few friends know I was starting a choir and eight of us came together for our first rehearsal in a room in a convent. The rest as they say is history! In the incredibly busy years that have followed, we’ve grown from our Edinburgh base to Glasgow, Dundee and Fife with over 400 members across Scotland. We’ve been fortunate enough to preform alongside stellar soul artists like Mica Paris, Basement Jaxx’ Sharlene Hector, The Streets’ Kevin Mark Trail and two-time MOBO winner Kele le Roc. We were regional finalists on BBC2’s “The Choir” with Gareth Malone and joined him on the Scottish leg of his UK tour. We were finalists in Great Scot Awards National Lottery Project of The Year. We have performed live on two consecutive years at the world-famous Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party and have had tremendous fun singing at weddings, bar mitzvahs and events such as the Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh’s Christmas and Dundee’s Light Nights. We have sold out shows and as a charity are very proud to have helped a range of other charities fundraise at each of our shows so all our local communities feel the benefit. Got Soul Choir – ‘soul family’ as we endearingly call ourselves is open to everyone over the age of sixteen - under sixteens must be accompanied by an adult. We run two fourteen-week workshop series a year, each culminating in a spectacular, uplifting foot stomping concert. Thank you for being here, we love having you in the ‘soul family’ and hope you do too! How to describe Got Soul Choir? You could try raucous, passionate, fun, energetic, exciting but at the same time it is almost impossible to nail it down with a few words - you really have to experience it. Whether we sing as a 400-strong choir at one of our electrifying concerts or as a sextet at a wedding, we touch, move and inspire. At Got Soul Choir we put our heart and soul into performances and are at home on any stage: conferences, corporate functions, after-show parties, clubs, weddings, schools, shopping centres, funerals, churches, outdoor events and festivals. Do you know what makes Got Soul Choir what it is? The magnificent and passionate you. Only you make every Got Soul Choir’s workshop, event and concert a soul-shakin’, pulse-racin’, foot-stompin’, soulful. Thank you for your passion and commitment. More than just singing What Got Soul Choir means to me, in your words

“Thursday nights ROCK!!!! Love, love, love my Thursday nights. Being a chronic pain sufferer there’s not much that I can do, this is my therapy!!! Met a lovely bunch of people and have some great laughs. Thank you for what you do and welcoming everyone with such enthusiasm!! No audition required, just my sort of choir”!!

Gillian, Dundee’s Got Soul Choir

“I have had a fantastic time at Got Soul and want to thank everyone who works so hard to make it the amazing organisation it is. Got Soul Choir has been a real lifeline. Thank you once again for making me feel so welcome over the last year”.

Kim, Edinburgh’s Got Soul Choir

“I have so appreciated having the choir to come to every Tuesday, knowing I’m going to see friends and friendly faces and the joy of singing and being part of something. The Choir has always been a huge source of strength and empowerment for me, but even after a few years in it, I am even more grateful now to be part of something that does get me out of my door, meeting new people and being part of something amazing every week. We really are a Got Soul Family. Thank you to all of you who make that possible”.

Emma, Edinburgh’s Got Soul choir

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot describe to you the confidence that the Got Soul experience has instilled in me. It has been life-changing! Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart and soul”.

Claire, Dundee’s Got Soul Choir
