BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, The Belfast Tattoo postponed, the Ulster-Scots roots of an American environmentalist and imagining Robert Burns in a pandemic.

A Tattoo delayed, an American environmentalist’s local roots, and encouraging writers.

Postponing the Belfast International Tattoo again, the local roots for an American environmentalist, growing new music talent and Ulster-Scots writing for a new competition.

Brian Wilson, Director of the Belfast International Tattoo chats about the disappointment in having to postpone the event for a second year, while Diana Culbertson meets a multi-talented musical student, Larissa Fleck.  Alister McReynolds relates the story the local connection to American environmental champion Rachel Carson – the woman whose writing ‘killed off’ DDT.   Scottish poet Stuart Paterson talks about being a judge on the Linenhall Library’s Ulster-Scots writing competition – and imagines Rabbie Burns during a season of social distancing.  Rab Lennox and Helen Mark complete this week team.  As always, the Kintra folk love to hear from listeners – you can contact them at kintra@bbc.co.uk
