Kintra: Making the most of the lockdown –blogging in Ulster-Scots, virtual baking lessons and a piping session at home.

Making the most of the lockdown –blogging in Ulster-Scots, virtual baking lessons and a piping session at home.

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Making the most of the lockdown –blogging in Ulster-Scots, virtual baking lessons and a piping session at home.

Blogging in Ulster-Scots, baking lessons by phone and piping from home.


Making the most of the lockdown – the writer blogging in Ulster-Scots, the baking sharing know-how by phone and the piper performing from his front room.

With the team ‘biding at hame’, they hear how others are handling the current situation: Helen Mark talks to writer Angeline King about her Ulster-Scots blog “The Lockdoon Lowdown”; Jonnie Crawford takes the plunge for a baking lesson from Shirley Graham -  by phone – and enjoys the results so much he vows never to go back to shop bought soda farls; Rab Lennox hears from musician Ali Hutton how the loss of work as a performer might just increase his creativity.

The Kintra team loves to hear from listeners – so why not get in touch with a yarn or maybe even suggest a tune you’d love to hear – you can email them at kintra@bbc.co.uk .
