Views of James Fenton's The Hamely Tongue
To mark James Fenton’s 75th birthday, Charlie Gillen explains that James Fenton's 'The Hamely Tongue' makes Ulster-Scots accessible to a wider audience.
Now in its third edition, it’s a best-seller for the Ulster-Scots Language Society and Chairman, Anne Smyth, talks about the pleasure of working with James Fenton and her enjoyment of his poetry.
James reads an extract from ‘Minin’ Bab’ - and Linde Lunney tells Liam that it’s obvious that James ‘ginnled’ trout in his day. (Broadcast: 31 May 2006)
