BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, The history behind “Afeared” on TV, making music at home, and remembering James Fenton, author of “The Hamely Tongue”.

The history behind “Afeared”, music at home and remembering James Fenton.

History to stop us being “Afeared”, making music at home, sailors, shipwrecks and stories of the sea in a new book, and remembering ‘the Father of the Ulster-Scots language”.

Darren Gibson and Dr David Hume join the team to talk about their television series “Afeared” – where a good, creepy yarn prompts a closer look at the history behind the story.  David also talks about his latest book “Tides of Time: A Coastal History of East Antrim”.  

Rab Lennox chats to Kenny Qua of Stonewall to hear how music making fared when it moved from the stage to the living room.

Dr Philip Robinson reflects on the news of the death of James Fenton, author of “The Hamely Tongue”, and the programme ends with the author reading part of one of his own poems.

Helen Mark and Jonnie Crawford complete the team this week.
