BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, BBQ tips for the dads and lads, Ulster-Scots astronomy from 1860s almanacs, and a soundtrack for poetry.

BBQ tips for the dads and lads, stargazing Ulster-Scots and a soundtrack for poetry.

Paula McIntyre has BBQ tips for the dads and lads, Ulster-Scots almanacs from the 1860s with an interest in astronomy, and the poet experimenting with soundtracks for his work.

Paula McIntyre gives Rab Lennox and Willie Hill ideas for getting really tasty food from the barbeque.  
Tony Drennan tells Helen Mark about three rare almanacs from the 1860s written in Ulster-Scots – they’re especially interesting on the subject of astronomy.
“Dark Nicht” is the title of Robert Campbell’s poem, but the theme has nothing to do with the night skies. Rab talks to him about the story behind the poem and how Robert’s been experimenting with setting his work to music.
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.
