Ulster-Scots magazine programme with Helen Mark and friends. 

Rab meets a piper who is overcoming the odds to play again, Willie hears about Lough Neagh’s Search and Rescue team, and Helen is on the search for linen yarns.

In this edition of our Ulster-Scots magazine programme, Helen Mark hears about a linen project joining Lisburn in Co Antrim and Kirkcauldy in Scotland: the search is on for stories from people connected to the local industry before the completed project returns to Lisburn in the spring of 2019.  Rab Lennox talks to the professional piper with a new, specially devised chanter that’s enabled him to overcome disability and play again.  Willie Hill’s been to Lough Neagh to meet the crew of the Search and Rescue team while on Banterbox, Carole Gilmore and Elaine McFeeters are struggling to go anywhere.
