Songs of Life and Culture in the Park

Available for 29 days

Helen Mark MBE presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine this week alongside Rab Lennox, Jonnie Crawford and Willie Hill. Helen catches up with singer and Kintra regular Eilidh Patterson to hear about her project alongside Richard Laird. The duo have turned personal stories from folk across the North West into a collection of twelve 'Songs of Life'. Willie has a report from 'Culture in the Park' - a Lurgan event that showcased collaboration between Ulster-Scots musicians and their contemporaries from around the world. Rab chats with members of the Desertmartin Accordion Band who are celebrating a special anniversary. As always, listeners are invited to contact the programme with a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email – kintra@bbc.co.uk
