BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, 25/11/2018

The Ulster-Scots magazine programme presented by Helen Mark and friends.

In this episode of Kintra, the man who made motorbikes comfortable, getting into step with Scottish Country Dancing and a resource for exploring all things Ulster-Scots.

A new blue Ulster History Circle plaque for a man whose ‘featherbed’ made bike racing faster – and more comfortable. Helen Mark meets Dick Creith, a former winner of the NorthWest 200 and Ulster Grand Prix who tells her what the ‘featherbed’ was about. Sylvia Burnside joins a Scottish Country Dancing class and may well be a bit of a convert, Portavogie’s ‘Banterbox babes’ Carole and Elaine discuss being ‘well happed up’ and Willie Hill finds out what’s on offer at the Discover Ulster-Scots centre in Belfast.
