Kilt expanders for an expanding waist, a poem relating to such delicate matters, and the newest pipe band in Ulster.

Rab’s kilt (left in for cleaning almost 2 years ago) has “shrunk” during the pandemic, there’s a poem on a similar theme, and we hear about Ulster’s newest pipe band.

Rab Lennox loves his family tartan and left his kilt in for cleaning - almost two years ago. While he’s delighted to be reunited with it, all is not as it should be – much to the amusement of Willie Hill, who’s gone with him just for the fun of it. There’s a poem from the late Sadie McAllister (read by her son John) on the subject of expanding waistlines and news too of Ulster’s newest pipe band – and they’re all teenagers.
Join Helen Mark, Rab and Willie for this week’s Kintra and as always, listeners are welcome to send their comments, feedback, details of an Ulster-Scots event they’d like to promote, or a good yarn to share – email the team at kintra@bbc.co.uk.
