A trip to New Gate Arts & Culture Centre and chats with Eddi Reader and Elias Alexander.
Helen Mark visits the New Gate Arts & Culture Centre in Derry - a project from the North West Cultural Partnership. As well as meeting Darren Milligan who programmes events at the new venue, there are conversations with local musician Eilidh Patterson and renowned Scottish songwriter Eddi Reader – (formerly of Fairground Attraction) and her musician husband John Douglas.
Meanwhile, Rab Lennox chats with American multi-instrumentalist Elias Alexander who is mashing his passion for Scottish folk… with dance music!
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.
