Ruth Sanderson returns to her home town of Banbridge and her former primary school, where she joins a school trip to Robert Burns country.
The first episode of the new series comes from Ruth’s home town of Banbridge. She discovers a personal connection to a well-known linen family, the Smyth’s, and visits Norman Kerr at the Bann Valley heritage centre to view his extraordinary collection of linen industry memorabilia. Finally, she returns to her former primary school, where her old teacher, Trevor Russell, invites her to join the school trip to Alloway to visit Robert Burns's home place. Mark explores the musical legacy of James O’Neill with fiddler Keith Lyttle, and celebrates one of the world’s most loved hymns, What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
