"A mesmerising performance that brings Luther back to life" - Smooth Groove Magazine

Renowned for his soul-drenched voice and magnetic stage presence, FiL Straughan returns to Boisdale of Canary Wharf with his acclaimed celebration of Luther Vandross. The show captures the smooth elegance, velvet tone, and emotional depth that defined Luther’s music while nodding to other soul greats including Al Green and Marvin Gaye.

FiL’s rich baritone and expressive phrasing recall the artistry of classic R&B. Backed by a first-class live band, he performs timeless songs such as “Never Too Much,” “Give Me the Reason,” “Stop to Love,” “So Amazing,” and “Here and Now.” With the warmth of a natural storyteller, FiL connects each song to the moments that shaped Luther’s legacy, creating an evening that feels both intimate and uplifting.

A former member of The Drifters and an award-winning soul vocalist, FiL has performed internationally and earned acclaim for his ability to channel Luther’s emotional intensity with honesty and precision. His shows have been described as “quite possibly the best Luther Vandross experience in the world” and continue to captivate audiences from London to Las Vegas.

Expect a night of heartfelt soul, gospel-infused warmth and songs that remind you why Luther’s music still moves people decades later.
