Opening in April this year and continuing until late summer, every three weeks a new chef took over and The Dorchester Rooftop, as it’s called, had a different theme with different live music.
“He realised that live music with a warm, laidback vibe would be a way to enhance the dining experience, as well as introducing younger people and new music fans to what the hotel has to offer.” With the hotel’s rooftop unused, except as a private garden for some of the suites, Richard had the idea of opening it to allow them to serve food,” says Nicky. “Initially, restaurants were only allowed to serve food outside. The project began earlier in 2021, as government restrictions on social mixing started easing, Richard Newell - food and beverage director at The Dorchester - contacted Nicky with an unusual idea. To be a feature, but also seamlessly complement and blend into the space, because people still want to have conversations,” says Nicky. “What we have tried to do is to make live music fit the aesthetics and atmosphere of its surroundings. Working with Yamaha, one of the highest profile of these inventive spaces is the rooftop terrace at the five star The Dorchester, long known as a preferred choice of the rich and famous. Nicky is discussing Molto Music’s mission to bring new music with interesting staging to restaurants and hotels, so long the preserve of cocktail pianists and crooners.
We are bringing interesting, original music to those places where people wouldn’t necessarily expect it,” says Nicky Caulfield, group director at Molto Music. People automatically think of the well-known venues, but the city is full of mini live performance spaces. “London is full of live music locations that nobody really considers. With a flagship project on the roof of The Dorchester, one of the city’s most prestigious hotels, the company is working closely with Yamaha to expand its ‘pop up’ live venues throughout the city. Bringing new, fresh live music to places where people don't expect it is the mission of London-based Molto Music.
