Lambeg drums make history at a Belfast celebration; finding a voice for poetry, and an NI Centenary concert in Kilkeel.
The biggest Lambeg drumming event ever, a Ballymoney poet鈥檚 voice in the written word and celebrating the NI Centenary with an Ulster-Scots concert at Reiver鈥檚 House in Kilkeel.
Helen Mark captures the flavour of the 鈥�100 Drums for 100 Years鈥� event at Stormont when a record number of Lambeg drums arrived from every part of the country to celebrate the NI Centenary. Willie Hill鈥檚 been chatting to James Donaldson about the concert planned for Reiver鈥檚 House in Kilkeel (and online) to celebrate the same anniversary. Jonnie Crawford meets Ballymoney poet Robert Simpson whose life long speech impediment encouraged him to write poetry. David Gilliland opens the diary for the Discover Ulster-Scots Centre in Belfast鈥檚 Victoria Street with new exhibitions and music events, and Rab Lennox completes this week鈥檚 Kintra team. As always, listeners are welcome to send their comments, feedback, details of an Ulster-Scots event they鈥檇 like to promote, or a good yarn to share 鈥� email the team at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
