Kintra: Quaking at the Gobbins, a look ahead to Bluegrass Omagh and meeting a world-class drummer

Quaking at the Gobbins, a look ahead to Bluegrass Omagh and meeting a world-class drummer

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Quaking at the Gobbins, a look ahead to Bluegrass Omagh and meeting a world-class drummer

Helen Mark and the Kintra team with the Ulster-Scots radio magazine.

Rab’s quaking on the Gobbins cliff path, while Helen hears about the Appalachian cloggers coming to Bluegrass Omagh and we meet World Champion Drum Major Emma Barr.

There’s banter and quaking when Willie Hill joins Rab on the Road to introduce him to a cliff walk 200 feet about the sea – just want you want when you can’t swim and are afraid of heights!  
As the best of the world’s pipe bands head for Glasgow Green, we meet the youngest ever World Champion Drum Major, Emma Barr. 
Helen Mark heads to the Ulster American Folk Park to find out what’s in store at this year’s Bluegrass Omagh and hears about Appalachian Clogging and there’s news of events coming up in the Ulster-Scots community.
As always, the team loves to hear from listeners with yarns to tell and events to share with the wider Ulster-Scots community – for news, events and stories, email Kintra@bbc.co.uk or say hello when you see any of the team members out and about!
