BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Bikes at the North-West, Clydesdale History at Balmoral, Good Food Stories and an Ulster-Scots Pipe Band in Philadelphia

Road races, Clydesdales, good food and an Ulster-Scots band in Philadelphia.

Good food stories from the Causeway coast, piping in Philadelphia, four generations of Clydesdale expertise and the return of speed on two wheels at the North-West.

Food, a good yarn and the Causeway Coast are Paula McIntyre’s themes as she talks to the team about her new cookery book.
With the Balmoral Show returns this week, Helen Mark visits Fred Hanna’s farm to hear about the love of Clydesdales shared by four generations of his family.
Speed on two wheels and the smell of 2-stroke drives Jonnie Crawford to Portstewart to meet the NW200’s Chief Marshall, Cathal Cunning.
Ever in search of good pipe band stories, Rab Lennox has a good yarn with members of an Ulster-Scots pipe band in Philadelphia.  Their band celebrates its centenary this year – and the founder member was a Cookstown man.
The team love to hear from listeners with their comments about the programme, or with a yarn or song or poem to share or an Ulster-Scots event to promote. Why not get in touch with them at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
