Music for a royal funeral, Mounthill Fair in verse, a life’s story in print and planting memories and a tree for the future

A musical journey from flute band to royal funeral, Ulster-Scots verse about Mounthill Fair, a lifetime of memories in print, and planting trees and time capsules in Magherafelt.

Rab Lennox returns to his old school where the pupils are marking the NI Centenary by planting a tree and a time capsule full of things they’d want others to know about in a hundred years. Memories of the Mounthill Fair are recalled in verse while Jonnie Crawford chats with the man who’s new book tells a story of growing up among the Ulster-Scots in the wider Ballyclare area.
Willie Hill talks to Craig – an exceptional young musician - about his journey from the Kellswater Flute Band to the funeral of the HRH, the Duke of Edinburgh, and Helen Mark keeps them all in order.
As always, loves to hear from listeners – especially if they’ve any yarns to share or Ulster-Scots events to promote. You can email the Kintra team at kintra@bbc.co.uk
