LONDON: Boisdale of Canary Wharf

Friday 13th February, 2026

6:00pm

Event information

London soul artist Nate Simpson brings the timeless sound of Marvin Gaye to Boisdale with his acclaimed show The Songbook of Marvin Gaye. Having starred in Motown the Musical in the West End and performed as Young Bob Marley in Get Up, Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical, Nate brings both theatrical craft and vocal mastery to the stage.

His set revisits Gaye’s defining works including “What’s Going On”, “Let’s Get It On”, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”, “Sexual Healing”, “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, supported by a live band of West End musicians.

Nate’s performance captures the depth, phrasing and harmonic sensitivity that made Marvin Gaye one of soul music’s most innovative voices. His seamless shifts between baritone and falsetto and his expressive dynamics reflect a deep understanding of Gaye’s artistry rather than imitation.
