BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Helen Mark heads down the Ards Peninsula for a good yarn with Mark Thompson.

Helen Mark in conversation with Mark Thompson.

Mark Thompson – presenter of Ulster-Scots programmes on BBC NI and regular contributor to Kintra, in conversation with Helen Mark. 

Mark Thompson pops up on BBC NI for programmes with Ulster-Scots at their heart – as well as the series Hame, he’s brought us stories of whiskey as well as poetry and music from his home area on the Ards Peninsula. Helen Mark heads down to ‘the far east’ for a cuppa in Mark’s ‘sit-ootery’, and a good yarn.
Listeners are welcome to contact Helen and the Kintra team with a yarn or song or poem to share or an Ulster-Scots event to promote or even just to say hello and comment on the programme. Why not get in touch at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
