The duo were absolutely brilliant — stylish, professional, and a total hit with our guests. They read the room perfectly and brought just the right energy to our corporate evening. Incredibly easy to work with too, which made my life a whole lot easier. Would book them again in a heartbeat.

Mapleton Sessions delivered a fantastic performance at the club. They arrived punctually, set up professionally, and were an absolute pleasure to work with—polite, friendly, and engaging throughout the evening. Their interaction with the audience was seamless, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Most importantly, their musicianship was exceptional, with a well-curated set that kept the energy high and the guests thoroughly entertained. A top-tier act that we would be delighted to welcome back!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our clients appreciate the personal touch we bring to each performance. Every event we take on has it's own unique style, just like our customers, and we pride ourselves on providing a special, one-of-a-kind experience.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We have performed at venues all over London, such as The Lucky Pig in Fitzrovia, Mezzanine Bar in Tooting, 8 Bishopsgate in City, The Temple of Arts and Music in Canary Wharf and The Bedford in Balham.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

We take great influence from artists spanning different genres, from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Chet Baker to Aretha Franklin, Gloria Gaynor and Ray Charles to Doja Cat, Dr. Dre and Bruce Springsteen.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

In December 2023 we've had the honour to perform at the beautiful 26th Floor Restaurant L26 for a building Christmas party. Two weeks later we had the amazing opportunity to accompany the cocktail bar The Lucky Pig's clients into the New Year.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our only line up consists of Vocals, Guitar and Flute.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We are flexible when it comes to timings, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate your requests!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Surely! We can offer a tailored playlist before and between the sets. In case a playlist is needed after the performance, we can provide this for an additional £75 p/h. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we're happy to negotiate depending on your specific needs.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about an hour before the starting time. Once our PA is set up, we can play your customised playlist to set the atmosphere as your guests get comfortable.

Can you roam around while you perform?

In some cases our vocalist can come up to your guests and roam around the room. Feel free to just ask when booking us!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We normally offer our suggestion for what we think would work best based on our extensive experience in live performing. However, feel free to ask for specific songs or what vibe you'd like to have, we'll definitely accommodate your request!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Of course! We're always happy to take song requests.
