Racing pigeons, what鈥檚 disappearing and a look to the future
Racing pigeons, what鈥檚 sadly disappearing and a futuristic tour of Derry/Londonderry.
Helen Mark presents Radio Ulster鈥檚 weekly Ulster-Scots magazine show.
This week, Tommy Tweed invites Kintra into his loft to talk pigeons. In a wonderful conversation, there鈥檚 talk of why some of the best pigeons are (at least) the same price as a small car, how pigeons helped win the war and why racing these animals brings Tommy so much joy.
Rab introduces a piece on the alarming decline of pipe bands in Belfast - after which the team discuss what else is sadly disappearing from our lives.
There鈥檚 also plenty of optimism and a look to the future 鈥� Helen has been on an Ulster-Scots tour of Derry / Londonderry that incorporates augmented reality 鈥� she even got to appear on a screen herself!
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.
