The US women who made history in America, and 70 years of the Dunloy Accordion Band.

Helen Mark MBE presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine this week alongside Rab Lennox, Jonnie Crawford and Willie Hill. Rab is joined by Reb Lightbody at a very special conference in Killymoon Castle, Cookstown. The two hear about some of the incredible – and underappreciated women who played a role in the most historic events in the foundation of the United States. Jonnie takes in the celebrations around the 70th anniversary of the legendary Dunloy Accordian Band while Willie has an update on Ulster-Scot Summer Schools making waves in Belfast.
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
