A trip to The Worlds and Seamus Heaney’s love of Ulster-Scots.

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, A trip to The Worlds and Seamus Heaney’s love of Ulster-Scots.

Celebrating Heaney ten years after his passing, a day out at The Worlds and an impressive property in Carnmoney.

Rab gets all the news and gossip from The World Pipe Band Championship on Glasgow Green, including a conversation with a drummer from Oman and a chat with the world champions. Marking ten years since he passed, Helen’s at the Heaney Someplace to discuss with an expert Seamus Heaney’s love of Ulster-Scots, finding how it’s peppered throughout his poetry. Meanwhile, Willie explores an impressive property that acts as a time capsule in Carnmoney being opened as part of European Heritage Days.

As always, 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.
