Does country music mix with the pipes? What hidden history’s in the low country and how are the Lambeg drums clubs doing?

BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Does country music mix with the pipes? What hidden history’s in the low country and how are the Lambeg drums clubs doing?

When country meets the pipes, hidden history at the coast, and upbeat drum clubs?

A love of the pipes finds its way into a country star’s music, the hidden history along the beaches near Ballyhalbert, and how drumming clubs are faring.

Country singer Alli Walker tells Rab about introducing her favourite instrument (and his!) to her music and how well the fans have responded to it.
Gibson takes a dander along the beaches near Ballyhalbert – or is it Butterlump – or St John’s port?
Willie meets a couple of experienced Lambeg drum enthusiasts to hear how the clubs are faring.

Helen keeps the team in order and as always, they all love to hear from listeners with a comment on the programme or a story to share – the programme can be emailed;  kintra@bbc.co.uk
