This week, Seb and Verity are joined by composer, arranger, keyboard player with the Hoosiers, long time Bear’s Den collaborator and old mate Paul Frith.

In true Three In A Bar style this episode is full of twists and turns - we find out whether Paul has ever been in a fight, how he came to write a symphony about Shackleton and some super niche mouthpiece chat.

We also find out why Paul and his Hoosier band mates had to be speedily escorted from a gig venue somewhere in the north of England.

Paul is the first guest we’ve had who has set us a mathematical challenge - Do we think this is something that will catch on? That is yet to be seen!

This week’s episode was a total pleasure to record as we are joined by Australian cellist, singer and songwriter Monique Clare.

Monique is currently on a European tour and will be appearing at the Cambridge folk festival this month. Aside from festivals, she can frequently be found with her cello up mountains, on cliff tops and more conventionally in concert halls and jazz clubs across the world.

Monique chats to Seb and Verity about some of her recent performances as well as recording her latest album Sight, performing with rap legend Eminem, her musical roots and how the heck she manages to so successfully sing and play at the same time!

In fact, Monique goes one step further and tries to teach Verity how to do the same. You’ll be delighted to hear the results are all recorded for your listening pleasure?!

Better than this, Monique gives us an extraordinary performance at the end of this episode which is not to be missed!

Here's a little catch up between your two co-hosts, as it had been a minute since they had last spoke. All a nice warm up really before tomorrow's blistering episode with Monique Clare. It's loose chat, in which they cover Verity's new show, Fiddler On The Roof at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and Verity gives her frank opinions on every member of the band. Seb discusses his latest hyper-fixation, Nancy cuts a tooth, and Verity celebrates her first string arrangement being released on Christof Van Der Ven's new record, "For The Ages".
