Willie`s Big Lang Danner

| Readers 18

Willie Drennan of the Ulster-Scots Folk Orchestra launched his second book on Wednesday night at the Holiday Inn, Belfast. A foreword to the event was provided by Mark Thompson, head of the Ulster-Scots Agency, before Willie gave an overview of his book exploring the historical and cultural links between Ulster and South West Scotland – such as Saint Patrick and the Covenanters. Meanwhile the Governments Ulster-Scots phoneline has still had no calls since it was setup in 2004. View Willie Drennans presentation here…
