Rab Lennox presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine alongside Willie Hill, Jonnie Crawford and Rebs Lightbody. The team are out and about this week – Rebs checks in with the Farmers' Choir during rehearsals at her old school in Ballymena ahead of an annual showcase performance. Jonnie’s been chatting with visitors to Ballymoney who were over to take in the NW200. Willie’s been to a school in Co. Cavan to learn about how they’re embracing their Ulster-Scots culture while the team hear about the upcoming celebrations marking 400 years of… Ballymena! 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: helen.mark@bbc.co.uk
