Inspiring twins, singing for older folk and people with dementia, and a visit to the Ulster History Foundation

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Inspiring twins, singing for older folk and people with dementia, and a visit to the Ulster History Foundation

Two wee reasons to write rhymes, mood lifting music, and Ulster’s family history hub.

Two wee reasons to write Ulster-Scots lullabies and rhymes, singing for older folk and people with dementia, and a visit to the Ulster History Foundation’s base in Newtownards. 

Willie Hill visits the Forget Me Notes community singing group in Newtownabbey, where the singers - older people and those with dementia – tell him of the social and mental benefits of meeting to sing mood-lifting music.
Helen Mark gets a tour of the relocated Ulster History Foundation and hears about the resources on offer for anyone keen to understand more about their family’s history.
Rab Lennox has a chat with Elaine McFeeters about the newly launched publication from the Portavogie Culture and Historical Society.
Carla Speers takes her baby daughters to meet poet Anne McMaster – and it’s an emotional meeting.  A tragedy in Carla’s family just after her twins were born inspired Anne to write a book of Ulster-Scots lullabies and poems for the little girls.
