Joe Mahon and Lisa Flavelle - Broadcaster’s Established and New!
Chatting to Lisa Flavelle’s about her new show on Radio Ulster, legendary broadcaster Joe Mahon and some exciting new music.
Helen Mark presents ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine show alongside Rab Lennox, Willie Hill and Jonnie Crawford.
This week – two wonderful broadcasters catch up with the Kintra team. Helen catches up with the man who gave her a big ‘break’ on radio – the legendary Joe Mahon. Joe discusses how attitudes to the Ulster-Scots language have changed throughout his distinguished career – which has included many episodes of ‘Lesser Spotted Ulster’ and ‘Mahon’s Way.’
Meanwhile, Willie speaks to Lisa Flavelle (daughter of late musician Jackie) – a comparatively new voice to Kintra listeners. Lisa presents a new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Ulster show - ‘Ulster-Scots Rhythms’ - on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Ulster right after Kintra on a Sunday.
Finally – Rab has some new music to share from an exciting duo called KMQxBP – whom he met up with while over in Glasgow.
As always, listeners are invited to contact the programme with a good Ulster-Scots yarn or event to talk about. The easiest way to do that is by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
