BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Highland dancing at Lislaird, Celebrating Willie Douglas’ music at the 2nd annual Fluteathon, and Psalm singing in Cullybackey.

There’s music for dancing, drumming, fluting and praising in this week’s Kintra.

There’s a musical theme in this week’s Kintra: for Highland dancers in Lislaird, flute players in Belfast, Psalm singers in Cullybackey and drummers heading to Atlanta.

There’s a musical theme running through this week’s Kintra: Helen Mark visits the young Highland Dancing group at Lislaird, to hear how much needed funding helped them get up and running to the point where they now have forty young dancers despite only starting five years ago.  
Willie Hill chats to Matthew Warrick about plans for the 2nd Annual Fluteathon in Belfast, celebrating the contribution Willie Douglas made to flute band music.
David McKelvey tells Sylvia Burnside about the job of a precentor in the Reformed Presbyterian Church where unaccompanied Psalm singing is the weekly fare and Rab Lennox chats to fellow drummer Winston Murdoch about their invitation to drum in Atlanta next month.
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 and comment, email Kintra@bbc.co.uk or say hello when you see any of the team members out and about!
