Catching up with Oor Jonnie, a tribute to The Piper of Loos and David Gilliland

Catching up with Oor Jonnie, a tribute to The Piper of Loos and David Gilliland.

Helen Mark presents BBC Radio Ulster’s weekly Ulster-Scots magazine show alongside Rab Lennox and Willie Hill. This week, Rab catches up with the folk planning to produce and unveil a bronze bust of the “The Piper of Loos” in his home village of Swinton, Berwickshire.
Helen enjoys a ‘state of the nation’ style chat with David Gilliland of the Ulster-Scots Agency on their plans.
But before all that – a long overdue catch up with our very own Jonnie Crawford – who talks about his recovery from a long illness, how he’s been ing the time and his return to the show!
As always, listeners are invited to 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.
