Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We had the pleasure of performing at Level 26 at 8 Bishopsgate—a stunning bar and restaurant—for the building's Christmas party. With breathtaking views of central London and the timeless charm of old-school jazz, we felt like we created a truly unforgettable experience for our guests!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We’re both huge fans of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s collaborations, with 'Cheek to Cheek' being one of our all-time favourite songs. Both of us are also obsessed with Stevie Wonder and we love playing his timeless hits 'Isn't She Lovely', 'Superstition' and 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered'.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Emerging from the vibrant live music scenes of Berlin and Rome, we’ve performed across a range of genres, shaping our sound along the way. Now, as Mapleton Sessions in London, we’ve found our musical home—rooted in jazz yet seamlessly blending soul, pop, rock, and Motown.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love collaborating with venues—bars, restaurants, members’ clubs, and pubs! With our own background in hospitality, we understand the unique challenges these spaces face and are always happy to contribute to London’s dynamic dining and social scene.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Depending on the event and setup, we usually arrive an hour before our performance. We normally perform 2 or 3 x 45 minute sets, but have also played 60 minute sets. We’re flexible in tailoring our performances to suit our clients’ special events and venues.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, always!


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We’re always happy to accommodate song requests! Depending on the scope, additional charges may apply, but we always discuss this in advance. Clients are also welcome to explore our repertoire and choose their favourites!
