Aaron is back already! And this time Verity is nowhere to be seen. That's right, it's Seb's first solo interview. Well, it's not an interview really, more a chat, digging further into many aspects of being a trumpet player.They discuss the following!How important is equipment? They chat about trying out trumpets, mouthpieces, becoming (or not becoming) obsessed with gear. Or maybe it's better to actually work on own playing instead of just buying a new trumpet. Do some hard work or just buy a shiny new instrument?Then a discussion on tonguing, articulation, and the POO ATTACK - which Seb can't do, and it brings up some trauma for him from his time at RAM. Seb describes double tonguing everything he can rather than single tonguing because he's lazy.Playing the most difficult piece in the world AKA Brandenburg 2.The first time they met on a gig in Poland where Aaron realised he knew Seb from watching a particular YouTube video.Playing in symphony orchestras with minimal rehearsal.Auditioning and doing trials.The solitude of a soloist, and Seb gets a new gig as Aaron's coach and mentor.To get tickets for Aaron's concert at the Cheltenham Festival 2025 click here; https://www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/aaron-akugbo-and-zeynep-%C3%B6zsucaYou can find us on the socials here;Instagram @threeinabarpodTiktok @threeinabarpodThree In A Bar on YoutubeAnything you'd like to share with us?

Yesterday, she continued to make history winning the Stayers' Hurdle aboard Bob Olinger to complete a Cheltenham Festival double.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Paul Ferguson, author of the Weatherby's Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide, for Part 2 of our Cheltenham Ante Post Specials—and this time, it's all about the handicaps! Paul and Emmet go through every handicap race at the Cheltenham Festival, revealing the horses they believe are well-handicapped, perfectly primed, and ready to strike. Expect expert insights, big-priced dark horses, smoke-screen gambles, and a bridle job with bells on at 10/1+ that the lads are very bullish about!

Nick is joined by Daily Mirror's David Yates to discuss the latest from the racing world. They lead today with the news that the Welsh Senedd has put the wheels in motion to ban greyhound racing. In the company of Evoke Chief Strategy Officer Vaughan Lewis, a greyhound owner and Welshman, they consider how seriously this should be taken as a threat by the horse racing industry in Wales and beyond. Also on today's show, trainer Gary Moore tells Nick hoe he plans to get the maximum from Mondo Man ahead of this weekend's Adonis hurdle, plus has a plan for his beloved Goshen. In Riyadh, Nick catches up with Dan Blacker, trainer of Breeders' Cup Sprint hero Straight No Chaser, while trainer Yoshi Hashida fills us in on his representative plus the abortive mission to bring a horse from Japan to the Cheltenham Festival. JA McGrath has his weekly bulletin from Hong Kong.
