It’s been quite the journey for Tabitha (Agnew) Benedict of Cup O’Joe – she’s left her two musical brothers at home, packed her banjo and headed to South Carolina with fellow musician and new husband David. We’ll be chatting to the Benedicts about the move, their music and the nominations they both have in the IBMA Momentum Bluegrass Awards this week. Exciting days for them and with such talent on hand and instruments nearby, Helen Mark and Rab Lennox will almost certainly ask for a song.
Closer to home, Diana Culbertson dons the wetsuit and heads off into the waves at Portrush to experience paddle-boarding for the first time.
Keeping his feet firmly on the ground, Jonnie Crawford chats to Billy Carlisle about a new publication focussed on the Ulster-Scots history of Ballywalter.
As always, the folk on the Kintra team are always up for a yarn if you’ve one to share – a tune to request or an Ulster-Scots event to promote. They’d be happy to hear from you by email at kintra@bbc.co.uk .
