Kintra: Exploring written Ulster-Scots with author Angeline King and poet Roy Ferguson and Dunloy’s first band practice after lockdown.

Exploring written Ulster-Scots with author Angeline King and poet Roy Ferguson and Dunloy’s first band practice after lockdown.

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Exploring written Ulster-Scots with author Angeline King and poet Roy Ferguson and Dunloy’s first band practice after lockdown.

Ulster-Scots writing and writers, and Dunloy Accordion Band’s first open-air practice.

Writers Angeline King and Roy Ferguson chat about getting their Ulster-Scots stories and poems down on paper, and Dunloy Accordion Band reassembles after lockdown.

Larne based writer Angeline King and Rathfriland poet Roy Ferguson chat about the challenges of writing in Ulster-Scots, the value of meeting likeminded people and whether standardised spellings help or hinder.
As the restrictions lift, Dunloy Accordion Band members dust of their instruments and head to the first practice of the year – and it’s outdoors.
Helen Mark, Rab Lennox and Jonnie Crawford keep the chat flowing and as always, they love to hear from listeners – especially when there’s a yarn to share, an Ulster-Scots event to promote or a story you think others would enjoy.  You can email the Kintra team at kintra@bbc.co.uk
