Seasonal themes from the Kintra team as Christmas approaches.

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Seasonal themes from the Kintra team as Christmas approaches.

A song for Santa, new Ulster-Scots poems and picking up a fiddle late in life.

Letters to Santa and a song, a new book of Ulster-Scots poetry, a yarn and a fiddle tune down the peninsula and songs for a Celtic Christmas.

Children at Castleroe Primary have a song for us and a few Willie Hill the low-down on their letters to Santa. Helen Mark hears about Anne McMasters’ new book of poems while Rab Lennox talks to Scott Wood about the new Christmas album from Celtic Worship.

Gibson Young visits an old friend Andy Brown for a good blether and learns that Andy only learnt to play the fiddle in his fifties.

As always, the team loves to hear from listeners who’ve a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
