Music fom the Wailin’ Jennys, bagpipes to welcome Snoop Dogg, refreshed Ulster-Scots yarns and a 90-year-old car
A song from the Wailin’ Jennys that touches the heart, welcoming a rapper with bagpipes, newly refreshed stories from Sam Henry and the story of a 1933 Wolseley Hornet Special.
Helen Mark meets Colin Urwin to hear about local stories to rival the tales of the Brothers Grimm – all collected decades ago by Sam Henry and about to be launched in a new volume. Tabitha Benedict introduces us to a song that touches her heart – The Old Churchyard as sung by bluegrass trio The Wailin’ Jennys. In a completely different part of the musical world – the fusion of hip hop and bagpipes - Ross Ainsley tells Rab Lennox how he welcomed the rapper Snoop Dogg at the airport. Willie Hill’s been to visit Peter Pollock and his 90 year old car – and he’s been muttering about a donkey under the bonnet ever since…
As always, the Kintra folk love to hear from listeners – especially if they’ve a good Ulster-Scots yarn, song or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
