There’s a musical theme running through this week’s Kintra: Helen Mark visits the young Highland Dancing group at Lislaird, to hear how much needed funding helped them get up and running to the point where they now have forty young dancers despite only starting five years ago.
Willie Hill chats to Matthew Warrick about plans for the 2nd Annual Fluteathon in Belfast, celebrating the contribution Willie Douglas made to flute band music.
David McKelvey tells Sylvia Burnside about the job of a precentor in the Reformed Presbyterian Church where unaccompanied Psalm singing is the weekly fare and Rab Lennox chats to fellow drummer Winston Murdoch about their invitation to drum in Atlanta next month.
