BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, In celebration of Robert Burns

Music and words with a wee bit of the Bard on the way.

Words and music from Ulster and Scotland and all with a focus on 'The Bard' – Robert Burns.

The focus on this week’s Kintra is a celebration of Robert Burns and includes Sylvia Burnside singing “Ye Banks and Braes”.
The team hears from Suzanne Alexander about how much the work and celebration of Robert Burns featured in her Scottish childhood and if it still means anything to her now, living in Ulster.
Helen Mark meets fiddler Fraoch Ferguson whose route to these shores is via Scotland and Australia, but still with a love of Burns.
Rab Lennox and Willie Hill remind Helen of the time she ‘addressed the Haggis’ for Kintra many years ago, and Jonnie Crawford talks to Simon Craufurd about the discovery of an original note from Robert Burns in the archives of Craufurdland Castle.
