Kintra

Looking at the musical landscapes of this island and Scotland and how a good tune travels well and inspires even more music.

Duration: 27 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio FoyleLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Ulster

Shared music is the theme this week as Phil Cunningham chats with Helen Mark about gathering sounds in Ulster and Scotland to inspire his new composition for The Narrow Sea: A Father Shore – which even features a wee bit from the Kintra team’s Willie Hill with a Lambeg Drum.
A new collection of tunes old and new along with their stories has been published by the Ulster-Scots Community Network with funding from the Irish Government and Rab Lennox hears more about it from David Gilliland.
Rachel Hutchinson has a singing workshop planned as part of Kilkeel’s Burns Festival. Jonnie Crawford hears what inspired her to do it and she performs “Coming Through the Rye” for Kintra.
The team loves to hear from listeners with their comments about the programme, or with a yarn or song or poem to share or an Ulster-Scots event to promote. You can contact them at kintra@bbc.co.uk. Show less
