Tracey has news of the Ulster-Scots Folk Festival coming up in Cairncastle later this month, along with another east Antrim gathering at Braidisland, or Ballycarry, in September. Alister McReynolds talks about his new book, ‘Legacy – the Scots Irish in America’, while Philip Robinson has two more new works on offer, a novel, ‘The Old Orange Tree’, set in Kirkreeba, somewhere in Co Down, and ‘Oul Licht, New Licht’, with poems, prose and metrical psalms in Ulster Scots.
