trumpets

'angels' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'sometimes seen playing these winners to get around another celestial being' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'being' could be 'pet' (pet is a kind of being) and 'pet' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'tums' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trumpets that I've seen before include "Brass musical instruments" , "Brass wind instruments" , "Proclaims loudly like elephant sounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
