BBC Radio Ulster - A Kist o Wurds, Series 24, Episode 5

Wilson Burgess is at the 18th annual Broadisland Gathering in Ballycarry.

Wilson Burgess is at the 18th annual Broadisland Gathering, Ballycarry; Maynard Hanna and Kerry Jordan visit the Milwaukee Irish Festival; and Charlie Gillen has an autumnal rhyme.

Wilson Burgess spends a day at the Broadisland Gathering, meeting folk from Scotland who are special guests at the eighteenth annual Ulster-Scots celebration. The Gathering brings people from all around to historic Ballycarry, in east Antrim. 

The Mid Argyll Pipe Band look good and sound great, but will they win the best band trophy? Wilson finds he has to do a turn himself with a verse or two.

Meantime, as the leaves fall from the trees, Charlie Gillen is on hand with a seasonal rhyme.
