Hello and welcome to Santer.

0:00:020:00:04

In this week's programme, Queen's student, Diana Culbertson,

0:00:070:00:11

on her thesis on marching bands.

0:00:110:00:13

Whenever you tell people that you're doing a PhD thesis,

0:00:130:00:16

they expect something very academic but I think it's a wonderful topic.

0:00:160:00:22

Mark Wilson meets Eddi Reader on his musical journey throughout Scotland.

0:00:220:00:26

For a guy who was one of the greatest literary figures in the world,

0:00:260:00:30

to be standing at a window scratching his writings onto the glass...

0:00:300:00:34

I think he might have been a wee bit steaming when he wrote that.

0:00:340:00:37

Ben Robinson takes us through the safety gear you need for Motocross.

0:00:370:00:41

You have your ribs protected, your shoulders and elbows.

0:00:410:00:45

And Gibson Young joins Will Cromie on a tour around the Ards.

0:00:450:00:49

By the time they came, the salvage crew, only the hull was left!

0:00:490:00:52

But afore all that, a wee bit of music from Stonewall.

0:01:000:01:04

Well, Alister, here we are at the beautiful Dunseverick harbour.

0:02:460:02:50

Whenever we were weans, we would have come down here,

0:02:500:02:53

down to the pools to have a swim.

0:02:530:02:56

But folk came here for a different reason.

0:02:560:02:58

Yes, a more serious reason, Anne.

0:02:580:03:02

When you had the big exodus of people to America

0:03:020:03:05

from this part of the world in the 18th century,

0:03:050:03:07

we always imagine they went from a bustling quayside, you know,

0:03:070:03:11

with people coming and going and carrying bags and things

0:03:110:03:14

but actually people went from little harbours as well.

0:03:140:03:17

And we have on record people going from Dunseverick harbour here,

0:03:170:03:20

in a little rowing boat,

0:03:200:03:22

out to the horizon there, where the big ship would be going along

0:03:220:03:26

and going into the Foyle estuary to pick up the major embarkation group.

0:03:260:03:31

And that loneliness of the little boat,

0:03:330:03:36

maybe contrasts with the hustle and bustle of the big quay -

0:03:360:03:40

the quay where lots of people were going together.

0:03:400:03:43

Really, round Dunseverick, there's not a lot of houses.

0:03:500:03:53

I wonder where the folk came from?

0:03:530:03:55

They would have been people from around here,

0:03:550:03:57

between here and the Causeway,

0:03:570:03:59

local fishermen and farmers and people like that.

0:03:590:04:02

States like Maine attracted people with that background -

0:04:020:04:06

where they could slip into a similar lifestyle pretty quickly.

0:04:060:04:10

So, Alister, really it would have been very lonely

0:04:180:04:21

coming down here for two folk,

0:04:210:04:23

maybe going on their own, saying cheerio to grandparents and parents.

0:04:230:04:28

I know we all know the story about emigration

0:04:280:04:31

and folk taking off but when you're standing here,

0:04:310:04:33

it would nearly make you greet, the thought of what they're away to.

0:04:330:04:38

It's a wee harbour, nothing happening, and a real hard blow

0:04:380:04:41

for some of the families left behind.

0:04:410:04:44

I think you're right, Anne. It's more personal.

0:04:440:04:46

You can, you know, virtually touch where they left from

0:04:460:04:50

and sense it very much on a day like this.

0:04:500:04:53

Whereas, if you go to a museum

0:04:530:04:55

and you see fibreglass figures, it's not the same.

0:04:550:04:58

So I get a real sense of sadness and, mixed with that,

0:04:580:05:02

anticipation here as the waters kind of lap.

0:05:020:05:05

And you could almost picture them in their little boat,

0:05:050:05:10

heading out there to the horizon.

0:05:100:05:13

Hi. I'm Ben Robinson. ENGINE REVS

0:05:160:05:19

I'm age eight.

0:05:190:05:20

And I love Motocross.

0:05:220:05:23

I got my first bike when I was five.

0:05:310:05:34

This bike here is 2010.

0:05:350:05:38

It's got six gears, 65cc.

0:05:380:05:41

I've raced on it quite a few times -

0:05:410:05:43

more than on any bike, more or less.

0:05:430:05:45

This track here we built in our own back field,

0:05:490:05:53

so that we wouldn't have to travel far to practise.

0:05:530:05:55

About my Dad. He's been very good, so he has, at racing.

0:06:000:06:03

He helped me with the bike and showed me how to ride.

0:06:050:06:08

You might want to stand back a few steps...if he comes off!

0:06:110:06:15

I'm afraid his old dad's knackered!

0:06:170:06:20

Ben was racing there through the wee Carrick - Carrick MCC.

0:06:250:06:29

They run the wee youth grass-tracks

0:06:290:06:31

and the one he was riding at was over in Glenoe there.

0:06:310:06:35

You can start racing from the age of six, for to get their wee licence.

0:06:370:06:42

As it comes on up through, you know, boys and girls of all ages.

0:06:420:06:45

There's wee girls racing quads.

0:06:450:06:47

There's some wee girls riding Motocross bikes.

0:06:470:06:49

It's a very well-run wee club.

0:06:540:06:56

And it gets them out, something to do, keeps them off the streets.

0:06:560:07:00

You can't race without your safety gear

0:07:060:07:08

because if I didn't, I wouldn't be allowed to ride.

0:07:080:07:11

When I'm riding along and it's a bumpy track,

0:07:110:07:14

my neck brace will stop my helmet from going all over the show.

0:07:140:07:17

You have to wear body armour underneath your top

0:07:170:07:20

because it gives you more protection.

0:07:200:07:23

You have your ribs protected,

0:07:240:07:27

your shoulders and elbows,

0:07:270:07:29

your spine.

0:07:290:07:31

When you're racing, you fall...get up...go.

0:07:390:07:42

People will help you.

0:07:420:07:44

The first race, I got a fourth.

0:07:440:07:46

And then the next race, I'm hoping to get up in the top four

0:07:460:07:49

to bring me up in the Championship.

0:07:490:07:51

Do you think you'll get as good as your Daddy,

0:07:530:07:55

or are you better than your Daddy?

0:07:550:07:57

Never as good.

0:07:570:07:59

Oh, you will! You're chasing me round here, like.

0:07:590:08:01

Me and my friends were just keeping going about starting a team,

0:08:010:08:05

so we were.

0:08:050:08:06

That's what we want, really, to happen in the future.

0:08:060:08:09

The last time we met Mark Wilson,

0:08:120:08:15

he had just started his musical journey in Carlisle.

0:08:150:08:18

He has now crossed the border to Scotland.

0:08:180:08:20

My journey, which started in Carlisle in England,

0:08:330:08:36

has now taken me northwards into Scotland.

0:08:360:08:38

And I'm travelling along the path the exiled Border Reivers

0:08:380:08:42

would have used when they were forced off their lands by James I.

0:08:420:08:46

A path northwards but a path westwards -

0:08:460:08:49

towards the coast and towards Ulster.

0:08:490:08:52

And they would have come through the town I'm just about to enter -

0:08:530:08:57

what's now the Scottish border town of Dumfries.

0:08:570:09:01

Dumfries - meaning "Fort of the Thicket",

0:09:060:09:09

also known as "Queen of the South" -

0:09:090:09:11

was home to important people in Scottish history.

0:09:110:09:14

But the most famous son of the Doonhamers

0:09:140:09:17

must be the bard himself, Robbie Burns.

0:09:170:09:20

It was here, to this house in Mill Street,

0:09:210:09:25

that Burns moved in 1793.

0:09:250:09:27

And it was from a little room behind one of these windows

0:09:270:09:31

that Burns wrote more than 100 of his best-loved works.

0:09:310:09:34

And these works were best loved in Ulster, by the Scots in Ulster,

0:09:340:09:38

who spoke that language that Burns wrote in.

0:09:380:09:40

The first publication of Burns's works anywhere in the world

0:09:400:09:44

was in the Belfast Newsletter.

0:09:440:09:47

Although often regarded as Scotland's National Poet,

0:09:480:09:52

he himself would rather be regarded as a songwriter.

0:09:520:09:56

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:09:560:09:59

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:09:590:10:02

# There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May

0:10:020:10:05

# That's half sae welcome as thou art!

0:10:050:10:07

# Come, bumpers high, express your joy

0:10:070:10:10

# The bowl we must renew it

0:10:100:10:13

# The tappet hen, gae bring her ben

0:10:130:10:16

# To welcome Willie Stewart

0:10:160:10:18

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:10:180:10:20

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:10:200:10:23

# There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May

0:10:230:10:26

# That's half sae welcome as thou art... #

0:10:260:10:29

So, Eddi, it's very surreal here being in,

0:10:310:10:34

not only Burns's favourite pub,

0:10:340:10:36

-but in his own bedroom in his favourite pub.

-I know. I know!

0:10:360:10:40

When I first came here and they showed me this room,

0:10:400:10:43

I just couldn't believe it.

0:10:430:10:45

I could feel the ghosts hanging around, you know?

0:10:450:10:48

-And he's still here?

-He must be, I think.

0:10:480:10:51

Probably a bit of DNA in that bed!

0:10:510:10:52

Definitely! Definitely! I'd check it out.

0:10:520:10:55

# ..Though foes be strang and friends be slack

0:10:550:10:58

# Their action must they rue it

0:10:580:11:01

# May women on him turn her back

0:11:010:11:03

# That wrangs thee, Willie Stewart

0:11:030:11:05

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart... #

0:11:050:11:07

So why's the girl from Fairground Attraction doing Burns songs?

0:11:070:11:10

Well, I always did, you know, I did.

0:11:100:11:13

Before I got to London

0:11:130:11:14

and tried my hand at the charts, if you like, you know...?

0:11:140:11:18

I was in Folk Clubs up here

0:11:180:11:20

and I learned things like Ae Fond Kiss and the Lowlands Of Holland.

0:11:200:11:24

So it was natural for me to find a writer like Robert Burns

0:11:240:11:28

and fall in love with his words.

0:11:280:11:31

# ..There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May

0:11:310:11:33

# That's half sae welcome as thou art...#

0:11:330:11:38

For me, Burns, when I was growing up,

0:11:410:11:43

was something highbrow,

0:11:430:11:46

maybe unreachable, maybe intellectually not my equal?

0:11:460:11:49

And what I've discovered as I've got older

0:11:490:11:52

is that, in actual fact, he was exactly like me.

0:11:520:11:55

He came from exactly the same place

0:11:550:11:57

and could speak my language, really.

0:11:570:12:00

And when I read his words, I see me in them

0:12:000:12:04

and he helps me explain myself.

0:12:040:12:06

# ..A flower it grows, it fades, it fa's

0:12:060:12:12

# And nature cannot renew it

0:12:120:12:16

# But worth and truth, eternal youth

0:12:180:12:22

# We'll gie to Willie Stewart! #

0:12:220:12:27

One of the places he wrote, in this room,

0:12:270:12:31

it actually wasn't on paper - it was on the window.

0:12:310:12:34

-Yeah.

-And he was a bit of a ruffian because he etched songs with a pen.

0:12:340:12:37

He must have had a pen with, like, a diamond...

0:12:370:12:40

They had a diamond stylus, they called it, right?

0:12:400:12:43

So they must have had a bit of diamond on the end of a nib thing.

0:12:430:12:46

For a guy who's one of the greatest literary figures in the world,

0:12:460:12:50

to be standing at this window

0:12:500:12:52

scratching his writings onto the glass...it's amazing!

0:12:520:12:55

He wrote two songs. He wrote, "You're welcome, Willie Stewart"

0:12:550:12:59

and he wrote "The Lovely Polly Stewart".

0:12:590:13:01

And Polly was the daughter of his best friend, Willie Stewart.

0:13:010:13:04

And I do "Willie Stewart"

0:13:040:13:06

but I like adding the verse

0:13:060:13:07

that he wrote to her in the song.

0:13:070:13:10

This one is... Let's see, what has he written?

0:13:100:13:13

"Oh, lovely Polly Stewart, Oh, charming Polly Stewart

0:13:130:13:18

"There's no' a flower that blooms in May,

0:13:180:13:23

"that's half so fair as thou art."

0:13:230:13:26

I think he might have been a wee bit steaming when he wrote that

0:13:260:13:29

cos it's a wee bit squiggly!

0:13:290:13:32

# Och, you're lovely, Willie Stewart

0:13:320:13:35

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:13:350:13:37

# There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May

0:13:370:13:40

# That's half sae welcome as thou art!

0:13:400:13:43

# You're welcome, Willie Stewart,

0:13:430:13:46

# Oh, you're welcome, Willie Stewart

0:13:460:13:48

# There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May

0:13:480:13:51

# That's half sae welcome as thou art

0:13:510:13:56

# Yeah, yeah, yeah... #

0:13:560:13:59

In Ulster-Scots, some words can have many different meanings.

0:14:090:14:14

The last time, Gary Blair and Liam Logan looked at the word "road".

0:14:140:14:17

This time, the word is "rough".

0:14:170:14:20

A word I always found very funny,

0:14:250:14:27

on account of the way that we use it in Ulster-Scots, is "rough".

0:14:270:14:31

Well, I prefer the way it's rendered in Ulster-Scots

0:14:310:14:34

because it sits handier in my mouth - "ruch".

0:14:340:14:37

Aye, "ruch's" the way to say it, aye.

0:14:370:14:39

And if a person set you up a plate of grub that wasn't too good,

0:14:390:14:43

how would you describe that?

0:14:430:14:45

That would be rough pecking.

0:14:450:14:47

-I heard it used about lodgings.

-Aye.

0:14:470:14:50

When you were staying with somebody, or you went to somebody's house,

0:14:500:14:53

and you said, "Boys, it was gye ruch."

0:14:530:14:57

That would usually indicate that the standards of hygiene

0:14:570:15:00

and cuisine were not very high.

0:15:000:15:02

They weren't at cordon bleu standard.

0:15:020:15:04

No. You're right about "ruch". It's all about pronunciation.

0:15:040:15:08

It's all about how we say a thing.

0:15:080:15:09

There's another meaning, separate and exclusive to Ulster-Scots.

0:15:090:15:13

If you were talking about a girl that was going to be a bride,

0:15:130:15:18

and maybe wasn't as well-favoured as a beauty queen,

0:15:180:15:21

but had a shilling or two to her pocket,

0:15:210:15:23

people would say she'd "a good purse to her arse".

0:15:230:15:27

And that would be rendered as, "She had a roughness of money".

0:15:270:15:31

Aye, a roughness, I heard that said afore.

0:15:310:15:34

Our whole family would have used that there.

0:15:340:15:37

"Have you much money on you?"

0:15:370:15:38

"Och, I have a roughness". We seemed to know how much it was.

0:15:380:15:41

Even I knew how much that was.

0:15:410:15:43

I couldn't tell you to the pound, shilling and pence

0:15:430:15:45

-but I knew a roughness when I heard it.

-But it wasnae much.

0:15:450:15:49

It was more than I have today!

0:15:490:15:50

Well, as you all know,

0:15:560:15:58

there's hundreds of marching bands all over the country.

0:15:580:16:01

And as well as that, hundreds of different views on these bands.

0:16:010:16:04

One student from Ballymoney that goes to Queen's,

0:16:040:16:07

has taken the opportunity to write a thesis on these bands.

0:16:070:16:11

Her name is Diana Culbertson.

0:16:110:16:13

I've lived in Ballymoney all my life,

0:16:170:16:20

so I'm very accustomed to marching bands.

0:16:200:16:23

I was always at band parades.

0:16:230:16:25

In my final year at Queen's,

0:16:250:16:26

I did an Irish traditional music module.

0:16:260:16:29

And, er...everybody was doing it on violins

0:16:290:16:32

and fiddles and accordions and what-not.

0:16:320:16:35

So I did it on the Lambeg drum.

0:16:350:16:37

So I had done that and got quite a good mark in it

0:16:370:16:41

and was very interested in learning a bit more

0:16:410:16:44

about my own culture from doing that.

0:16:440:16:46

So I approached Queen's to see if I could do something on marching bands

0:16:460:16:50

and that's where I've ended up today.

0:16:500:16:53

So I had been observing four local bands from within the area

0:16:550:16:59

and I ended up becoming a member of Dunloy Accordion Band.

0:16:590:17:05

'It's definitely far more difficult to play whenever it's wet.'

0:17:060:17:10

I'm not too impressed by any means.

0:17:100:17:12

But that's dedication for you.

0:17:130:17:15

Bands are deeply misunderstood.

0:17:180:17:20

The "blood and thunder" bands, marching bands,

0:17:200:17:23

were a direct product of the Troubles.

0:17:230:17:26

And I think at that time, it was more about noise and numbers

0:17:260:17:29

as opposed to musical finesse,

0:17:290:17:31

whereas I think the roles have been reversed now.

0:17:310:17:34

Definitely, within Dunloy, it's always been about musicality.

0:17:340:17:38

People think we just sit in our Orange Halls and practise,

0:17:390:17:43

or wherever you practise at,

0:17:430:17:45

and try to make as much noise as possible

0:17:450:17:47

to try and create contentions. I don't think that's true

0:17:470:17:50

because I certainly don't go to Dunloy Orange Hall,

0:17:500:17:54

to band practice every week, with that in mind.

0:17:540:17:57

I'm going to make music and make good music.

0:17:570:18:00

This is the typical type of accordion

0:18:030:18:06

we would use in Dunloy Accordion Band.

0:18:060:18:08

They're worth thousands of pounds.

0:18:080:18:10

These here are your different voices.

0:18:100:18:13

It's like playing a piano and I find whenever you're playing a piano,

0:18:140:18:18

it takes years to master it.

0:18:180:18:20

When it comes to playing the accordion,

0:18:200:18:22

you're taught within the band.

0:18:220:18:25

That can take anything up to a year, two years.

0:18:250:18:27

They will then learn a bit of drill,

0:18:270:18:30

learn how to play the instrument and march.

0:18:300:18:32

Then you're allowed on the road

0:18:320:18:34

and even that's quite difficult in itself

0:18:340:18:36

because these are not that light!

0:18:360:18:39

Whenever you tell people that you're doing a PhD thesis,

0:18:400:18:44

they expect, I suppose, something very academic

0:18:440:18:48

but marching bands... sometimes people have a laugh.

0:18:480:18:52

But I think it's a wonderful topic. I've met new friends and I'm hoping to give people

0:18:520:18:56

a greater insight into marching bands from within this region.

0:18:560:19:00

One of the best-known characters from about the Ards is Will Cromie.

0:19:020:19:06

Will has a powerful lot of knowledge and can tell many a good yarn.

0:19:060:19:10

Over the next three weeks,

0:19:100:19:12

he'll meet up with fellow Ardsman and musician Gibson Young,

0:19:120:19:15

to share some of these yarns wi' us.

0:19:150:19:17

# La la la, la la lee

0:19:180:19:22

# Oh, six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee... #

0:19:220:19:26

-And so we have got into Donaghadee and there's a queer old view here.

-Aye, it's not bad now.

0:19:280:19:33

I was looking at the old light-house there.

0:19:330:19:36

I suppose, when that was put up, it would just have been big lamps, big paraffin lamps.

0:19:360:19:41

-Aye, likely.

-But I suppose when you think on it, years ago,

0:19:410:19:43

the old boys that lured the boats onto the rocks...

0:19:430:19:46

Aye, just with a lamp, here... waving them in.

0:19:460:19:49

And then went out and stole the cargo.

0:19:490:19:52

They thought this was perfectly all right.

0:19:520:19:54

If a boat was on the rocks, they're entitled to take all they wanted.

0:19:540:19:57

Aye, well, it's salvage rights, I suppose.

0:19:570:20:00

They say there was one went up on Wallace's Rocks

0:20:000:20:03

and word came down they weren't to touch this boat.

0:20:030:20:05

By the time they came, the salvage crew, there was only the hull left!

0:20:050:20:10

-They'd the timber out of it.

-Stripped!

-Every timber.

0:20:100:20:12

Light-bulbs and everything.

0:20:120:20:14

They said down there, when it sank,

0:20:140:20:16

old Sammy Dunbar was fishing at the side of it

0:20:160:20:19

and this boy was doing a bit of diving round the old wrecks.

0:20:190:20:22

And he came up and said to Sammy, "Are you getting much?"

0:20:220:20:25

"Aye," Sammy says, "I got a big sea trout there, nearly 20lbs".

0:20:250:20:30

And he says, "What are you getting down there?"

0:20:300:20:33

"Well," he says, "You'll not believe it. I went down there and I found a lamp".

0:20:330:20:37

"And I brought it up and it was still lit".

0:20:370:20:40

Sammy says, "I'll tell you what, if you blow the candle out,

0:20:400:20:43

"I'll knock 10lbs off the weight of the fish".

0:20:430:20:45

# One day I was in Bangor

0:20:480:20:50

# And called with Miss Brown

0:20:500:20:52

# She was up in her bath

0:20:520:20:54

# But she couldn't come down

0:20:540:20:56

# Says I, "Slip on something and come down real quick"

0:20:560:21:00

# So she slipped on the soap and came down in a tick!

0:21:000:21:03

# La la la, la la lee

0:21:030:21:07

# Oh, six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee... #

0:21:070:21:12

There's the old track there.

0:21:120:21:14

The railway line came right down the whole road from Belfast,

0:21:140:21:18

right down the quay here.

0:21:180:21:20

And then loaded the steam boat on the side.

0:21:200:21:22

You see the old winch on the side there.

0:21:220:21:25

The old mail, when it was brought down here, it was how far it went.

0:21:250:21:29

It didn't matter about first or second class.

0:21:290:21:31

Going to Liverpool was one price, going to London another price.

0:21:310:21:35

It was sort of so much a mile?

0:21:350:21:37

Aye. By the mile instead of by the weight.

0:21:370:21:39

If you go into the Post Office now,

0:21:390:21:41

you have a wee letter box sort of thing,

0:21:410:21:43

and if it doesn't fit in, it's one price.

0:21:430:21:45

It goes to the next one and it's another price.

0:21:450:21:48

And then they say, "Oh, that'll cost you a fortune."

0:21:480:21:51

# One day I was at market I bought a wee hen

0:21:510:21:55

# I thought I would like a fresh egg now and then

0:21:550:21:59

# But the very next morning I got a great shock,

0:21:590:22:03

# Says the hen, "Sure I can't lay, I'm only a cock"

0:22:030:22:06

# La la la, la la lee

0:22:060:22:11

# Oh, it's six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee... #

0:22:110:22:14

Just looking at the old pub there.

0:22:140:22:16

Boy, they say that's the oldest pub in Ireland, 1611.

0:22:160:22:20

They were selling porter then.

0:22:200:22:21

The first boy that got full in it wouldn't have a sore head today!

0:22:210:22:25

No, I don't think so.

0:22:250:22:27

But two doors down from the bar,

0:22:270:22:29

there's a wee barber shop.

0:22:290:22:32

And I used to love that when you were a wean and went in.

0:22:320:22:35

It was the old thrupenny haircut - everyone got a short back and sides.

0:22:350:22:39

But Wee Sam run it

0:22:390:22:41

and this day Big Davy came in and set himself on the chair.

0:22:410:22:44

"Tidy her up", he says.

0:22:440:22:45

And Sam says, "Is this for the big day?"

0:22:450:22:48

He says, "What big day?" He says, "The 12th, the field".

0:22:480:22:51

"No. 40 years I have gone to that field but I'm retired now

0:22:510:22:55

"and the weans have bought me and the wife a wee holiday."

0:22:550:22:58

And he says, "I'll tell you where I'm going, I'm going to Rome."

0:22:580:23:02

He says, "The Master of the Lodge on the 12th going to Rome?"

0:23:020:23:05

"That's where I'm going".

0:23:050:23:06

So about three weeks later, he's dandering up the street and he spies Big Davy.

0:23:060:23:10

"Well," he says, "Did you get to Rome?"

0:23:100:23:13

"I did. I saw all around it, boy, and I finished up in this square

0:23:130:23:17

"and there were hundreds of folk and the wee man himself came, the Pope.

0:23:170:23:21

"And he came in and I watched him, for I didn't want to look ignorant,

0:23:210:23:26

"and when he went to a couple,

0:23:260:23:28

"the woman kind of bowed and the man got down on one knee.

0:23:280:23:31

"I tell you, he came straight over to me.

0:23:310:23:34

"And I got down on one knee and he put his hand on my head".

0:23:340:23:38

Sam says, "He what?"

0:23:380:23:39

"He put his hand on my head and he spoke to me."

0:23:390:23:42

"And do you know what he said?" "What?", he said.

0:23:420:23:45

He said, "In the name of heavens, who cut your hair like that?"

0:23:450:23:49

# La la la, la la lee

0:23:490:23:53

# Oh, it's six miles to Bangor from Donaghadee. #

0:23:530:23:56

Do you mind Diana Culbertson told us about her thesis on marching bands?

0:24:000:24:05

For by having brains, Diana's an excellent singer

0:24:050:24:08

and what better way to end the show than Diana singing us out,

0:24:080:24:11

accompanied by Dunloy Accordion Band?

0:24:110:24:14

I think this might just be a wee bit special. Cheerio!

0:24:140:24:18

# I'll sing it one last time for you

0:24:220:24:30

# Then we really have to go

0:24:300:24:37

# You've been the only thing that's right

0:24:370:24:44

# In all I've done

0:24:440:24:49

# And I can barely look at you

0:24:510:24:57

# But every single time I do

0:24:570:25:05

# I know we'll make it anywhere

0:25:050:25:11

# Away from here

0:25:110:25:18

# Light up, light up

0:25:200:25:24

# As if you have a choice

0:25:240:25:30

# Even if you cannot hear my voice

0:25:300:25:37

# I'll be right beside you, dear

0:25:370:25:44

# Louder, louder

0:25:470:25:51

# And we'll run for our lives

0:25:510:25:56

# I can hardly speak, I understand

0:25:560:26:03

# Why you can't raise your voice to say

0:26:030:26:10

# To think I might not see those eyes

0:26:120:26:18

# Makes it so hard not to cry

0:26:190:26:24

# And as we say our long goodbyes

0:26:240:26:30

# I nearly do

0:26:300:26:35

# Light up, light up

0:26:390:26:42

# As if you have a choice

0:26:420:26:46

# Even if you cannot hear my voice

0:26:460:26:53

# I'll be right beside you, dear

0:26:530:27:00

# Louder, louder

0:27:030:27:06

# And we'll run for our lives

0:27:060:27:11

# I can hardly speak, I understand

0:27:110:27:16

# Why you can't raise your voice to say

0:27:160:27:23

# Oooooohhhhh

0:27:250:27:28

# Oooooohhhhh

0:27:280:27:30

# Oooooohhhhh

0:27:300:27:33

# Oooooohhhhh

0:27:330:27:37

# Oooooohhhhh

0:27:370:27:43

# Light up, light up

0:27:500:27:53

# As if you have a choice

0:27:530:27:57

Even if you cannot hear my voice

0:27:570:28:03

# I'll be right beside you, dear

0:28:030:28:10

# Louder, louder

0:28:130:28:16

# And we'll run for our lives

0:28:160:28:21

# I can hardly speak, I understand

0:28:210:28:26

0:28:260:28:34

# Ooooooh... #
