Following the threads of our heritage, a beginner’s guide to tapping out rhythm, and the forgotten poet of Donegal.

Rab finally gets to play a Lambeg, Ulster-Scots textile heritage in a new television series, and a festival for a forgotten poet.

Presenter Claire McCollum and textile historian Bruce Clark join the team to chat about “A Stitch Through Time” – a new ѿý1 series looking at our Ulster-Scots textile heritage.
Having watched them being set up, played and even painted, the moment has come when - under Willie Hill’s watchful eyes - Rab Lennox gets to grips with playing a Lambeg drum. “I think I can drum…” takes on a whole new meaning!
Johnnie Crawford talks to Dr Pauline Holland about this week’s festival celebrating Frances Browne – known locally as “Donegal’s blind poet”.
