In the first of a two-part series on the history of Ballycarry in County Antrim, Alister McReynolds talks to historian David Hume in the old graveyard at the top of the village where a poet, a politician and a rebel lie side by side. The poet is the famous weaver poet, James Orr; the rebel was 16 year old William Nelson who was hanged outside his mother鈥檚 house for helping the United Irishmen; and radical churchman, Reverend Edward Brice was also sentenced to 鈥減erpetual silence鈥濃��

Ulster-Scots musicians, 鈥淪ession Beat鈥� hail from Enniskillen. Two of the group are teachers, Kyle Hopper and Rodney Brownlee - and Helen Mark catches up with them at their school to find out about the various musical influences on the band.
