Ep. 80: Seb Philpott

Seb Philpott is a multi-faceted freelance trumpeter who has played in a variety of ensembles such as orchestras, period instrument groups, jazz bands and West End pit bands. Seb is also a presenter of the hugely popular Three in a Bar podcast, which features interviews with a wide range of people from across the music and performing arts industry. I interviewed Seb's co-host Verity Simmons so I thought it would be a lovely idea to hear from the other side. Seb and I met last year at Blackheath Halls during the annual London International Festival of Early Music. I was excited to meet Seb as I had listened to his podcast for a while and was excited to hear more about the process of putting together a music podcast. We had an enjoyable hour or so talking about topics such as the process of putting together a music podcast, performing in different musical contexts and styles, singing, memorable performances, confidence, and growing up on the Les Misérables soundtrack. - sebphilpott.com threeinabar.com - Seb plays the trumpet with the European Union Baroque Orchestra in Bach's Cantata "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen," BWV 51.
