Kintra: Opportunities for pipers and Ulster-Scots writers, a hairt-sang for the working folk and inside a landmark church at Ballintoy

Opportunities for pipers and Ulster-Scots writers, a hairt-sang for the working folk and inside a landmark church at Ballintoy

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Opportunities for pipers and Ulster-Scots writers, a hairt-sang for the working folk and inside a landmark church at Ballintoy

Opportunities for pipers and writers and a visit to a landmark church in Ballintoy.

A new opportunity for solo pipers, an online course for Ulster-Scots writers, a song to warm the heart and a visit to a landmark church in Ballintoy.

Rab Lennox has a chat with Chloe McGreggor about the Belfast TradFest winter weekend and an opportunity it presents for solo pipers to win a place at a major festival in France. 
Anne McMaster joins the chat to tell the team about “Sheddas on tha Page” – a way to build creative writing skills in Ulster-Scots.
Willie Hill meets Robert Corbett at the much-photographed white church in Ballintoy to hear more about the history of the Parish.
And Stuart Patterson’s hairt-sang is about a song for working folk.
Helen Mark’s in the driving seat as always and listeners are invited to contact the programme with a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about.  The easiest way to do that is by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
