BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Wee rhymes for language week, a musical swap – from snares to timpani, and living the good life near Slemish.

Derryboy Primary children with wee rhymes for Ulster-Scots language week, a pipe band drummer tries out the timpani, and homesteading near Slemish.

Children from Derryboy Primary School share Ulster-Scots nursery rhymes as language week comes to an end – a far cry from when Charlie Gillen and others were at school and the language was discouraged.
Rab Lennox leaves his comfort zone in the world of pipe bands to visit Ballyduff Silver Band.  It’s home territory for team member Willie Hill who puts Rab through his paces with the timpani.
Carla Speer takes a trip to a family farm where they’re chasing the good life of more independence and sustainability near Slemish.      
Carla, Rab and Jonnie Crawford complete this week’s Kintra team – and they all love to hear from listeners by email – kintra@bbc.co.uk
