Radio for Ulster-Scots enthusiasts in Kilkeel, Ballyboley band’s drum teacher, a voice from the Somme and a postcard from home.

Two weeks of radio in Kilkeel 'For Ulster-Scots Enthusiasts', drumming up enthusiasm for Ballyboley Pipe Band, remembering the Battle of the Somme, and a postcard from home.

Helen Mark, Rab Lennox, Jonnie Crawford and Willie Hill welcome friends to this week’s Kintra, including Sharon Hutchinson – a volunteer presenter for this summer’s FUSE FM in Kilkeel. Derek Reaney of the Ulster-Scots Agency talks about funding for Ulster-Scots festival events, and there’s a look around the hall of Ballyboley Pipe Band in the company of stalwart drum instructor, Raymond Clifford. Michael Mogey sends a sound postcard from a local place he loves, and the Battle of the Somme is remembered by a man who was injured on the first day.
