A right royal stamp of approval for the Sollus Highland Dancers, singing lessons at home and pipers competing online
Ulster-Scots culture in abundance with a royal stamp of approval for the Sollus Highland Dancers, how virtual singing lessons raise the game and online competitions for pipers.
There’s Ulster-Scots culture in abundance on this week’s Kintra; Helen Mark meets the founder and two parents who volunteer with the Sollus School of Highland Dance to hear about how they came to win The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. Sylvia Burnside introduces a young singer and hears how working remotely seems to increase everyone’s attention. Rab Lennox talks to Andy McGreggor about online musical activity for pipers and there’s a poem describing the Ulster-Scots as “A Different Breed”.
The Kintra team loves to hear from listeners – so why not get in touch with a yarn or maybe even suggest a tune you’d love to hear – you can email them at kintra@bbc.co.uk .
