A whiskey barrel hobby, taking the floor for decades of dancing, the joys of a market gardening and a song for a ‘garden’ prom.
Repurposing whiskey barrels, dance music for taking the floor, the trials and laughs in a market garden and a song for prom in your own garden.
Helen Mark and the team are back with plenty of blether and banter for this episode of Kintra. Diana Culbertson visits the workshop of Councillor Darryl Wilson to hear how his hobby of whiskey barrel furniture has become a business over recent months. Rab Lennox talks to Gordon Shand about his band’s contribution to Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scotland’s long-running Take the Floor programme and hears how Gordon turned his talents to writing music for Rab’s favourite instrument. With harvest season in full flow, Willie Hill catches up with Frank McCook for an update on how his market garden business grew over the summer months. There’s music too for the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s Proms in your Garden as Diana sings a ‘modern classic’ song from Scotland, accompanied by Mervyn Dunlop and Heather Montgomery.
The friendly 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.
