Sean Maple was born in April 1936 in Wimbledon, London. At the end of the war his family moved down to Kent. In the 1950s he took jobs which allowed him to continue playing the jazz trombone in the evenings, not giving much thought to the future. Between 1972 and 1975 Sean trained as a teacher. He taught in a county primary junior school until his retirement in 1996. Sean played with various jazz bands until 2019, mainly in East Kent, although he also did weekend tours in Belgium, France, and Germany. Before his death in December 2023, he had published one novel. He was married with three children and three grandchildren.
