At ‘Hame’ across the sea, how to assemble a Lambeg drum, re-introducing poet Robert Dinsmoor and ‘champ rules’!

At hame across the narrow sea, the mysteries of a Lambeg drum assembly, the Rustic Bard of New Hampshire’s local roots and how to make proper champ.

Mark Thompson joins the Kintra team this week – he’s just hame from filming “Hame� in Scotland and gives a wee hint of what to expect in the next series. Helen Mark’s been chatting with Alister McReynolds about local roots and work of poet Robert Dinsmoor – the “Rustic Bard of New Hampshire�. Rab Lennox continues on his journey of discovery in the world of Lambeg drums by getting to grips with how one is assembled for playing. There’s also an out-take from the chat with chef Paula McIntyre from a few weeks ago when the ever-confident Willie Hill took it on himself to share his wisdom on the making of champ. The team won’t let him forget that in a hurry!
The Kintra folk love to hear from listeners on any subject of interest to the Ulster-Scots community – events to promote, stories or ideas – even your own champ-making tips. You can reach them at kintra@bbc.co.uk
