0:07:25 > 0:07:28I practice about three times a week at home.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31This year, there are a whole load of different competitions
0:07:31 > 0:07:33and events, such as the Londonderry Tattoo,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35the World Championships in Glasgow,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37the Portrush competition
0:07:37 > 0:07:38and other concerts along the way.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I've got all the tunes for the World Championships
0:07:41 > 0:07:42and it was a bit difficult,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46but hopefully I can perfect it by the time the competition comes up
0:07:46 > 0:07:49'I have never been to a pipe band championship before,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53'because I haven't really been in a competition band.'
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I am extremely nervous, because I've never even seen a competition before
0:07:57 > 0:08:01so I don't know what it's going to be like, me playing in one.
0:08:01 > 0:08:16PIPES PLAY
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Well, when I first got them,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24they were quite hard to blow,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29but now I can blow them for longer and I'm used to them now.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33'I'm taking part in the All Ireland Solo Championships
0:08:33 > 0:08:36'and I'm looking forward to it.'
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's different, cos it's more nervous,
0:08:39 > 0:08:44cos you're playing on your own and everything.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I'm going to be making a video diary of me
0:08:48 > 0:08:53practising and improving my playing for the solos.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00So I'm going to be making a few videos.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'I like going to the different places and talking with friends
0:09:05 > 0:09:09'and meeting up with them more often and everything.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Aren't they just brilliant?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Kyle and Zoe.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And, would you like to know how they're getting on?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23CROWD: Yeah!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Well, do you know what?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27We're going to be following them every inch of the way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Now, Leanne, when people first came over here from Scotland,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34where did they come from, why did they come, what's the story there?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Hamilton and Montgomery were two gentlemen
0:09:36 > 0:09:38who had got land in this area.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40They were Scottish and they needed to have people in their land,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43so they gave out the land at low rents and people
0:09:43 > 0:09:47came from Scotland for the chance to make a better life for themselves.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We have in the museum a series of maps from 1624 and 1625
0:09:51 > 0:09:53which show just how successful it was.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56What's particularly associated with this area is
0:09:56 > 0:09:57the story of Eagle Wing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah, well, the thing is sometimes the grass isn't always greener.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03So the people came from Scotland, bu they were seeking religious freedom.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05They didn't have what they wanted here.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10So they set out on a journey in September 1636, 140 passengers,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and they were going to America to seek this freedom.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16The sad thing is, they were probably nearer America
0:10:16 > 0:10:20than they were here, but they encountered bad storms
0:10:20 > 0:10:21and decided to turn back.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thanks very much, Leanne. Thank you.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Now, we're talking about a story from a few hundred years ago,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29but, actually, we have a couple who came over from Scotland today.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Mary and Robert Erskine, hello to you both. You're very welcome.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Now, tell us about where you're from, Mary?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Portpatrick in Scotland.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39OK, so only a few miles from where we are in Groomsport. OK.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And what about yourself, Robert?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Portpatrick, but I'm originally Donaghadee.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46How did you meet?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48We met on a ferry. Stranraer to Larne. Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50LAUGHTER
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I was going to a country and western festival in Larne
0:10:53 > 0:10:54and Robert was going home to play rugby.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56And what happened? Come on?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Two months later, he asked me out.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00And we're still here together after 32 years.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Oh, that is lovely.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03So, it was love at first sight, Robert?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Took me two months to realise it.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07LAUGHTER
0:11:07 > 0:11:09He's a bit of a slow mover.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, we are very glad to have you with us tonight.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13We've got this living connection between Northern Ireland
0:11:14 > 0:11:16and Scotland in the very room. So, thanks very much for joining us.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Right, time for a little bit more music.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38# As I went out to take a little walk
0:11:39 > 0:11:42# I came across that Wild Bill Jones
0:11:42 > 0:11:46# He was walkin' and a-talkin' by my true lover's side
0:11:46 > 0:11:49# I bid him to leave her alone
0:11:50 > 0:11:53# He said my age is about 21
0:11:53 > 0:11:57# Too old to be controlled
0:11:57 > 0:12:00# I drew my revolver from my side
0:12:01 > 0:12:04# Destroyed that poor boy's soul
0:12:05 > 0:12:08# So pass around that longneck bottle
0:12:08 > 0:12:11# We'll all go out on a spree
0:12:12 > 0:12:15# For today is the last of Wild Bill Jones
0:12:15 > 0:12:19# Tomorrow be the last of me
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# Woo... #
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# He reeled and he staggered and he fell to the ground
0:12:37 > 0:12:41# He gave one dying moan
0:12:41 > 0:12:45# I threw my arms around my true lov
0:12:45 > 0:12:48# Sayin' "Darlin', won't you please come home?"
0:12:49 > 0:12:52# So pass around that longneck bottle
0:12:52 > 0:12:56# We'll all go out on a spree
0:12:56 > 0:13:00# For today is the last of Wild Bill Jones
0:13:00 > 0:13:04# Tomorrow'll be the last of me...
0:13:06 > 0:13:12CROWD: Woo!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22# They put me in jail for 20 long years
0:13:22 > 0:13:25# This poor boy longs to be free
0:13:26 > 0:13:29# For Wild Bill Jones and that longneck bottle
0:13:29 > 0:13:33# They've made a ruin of me
0:13:33 > 0:13:37# So pass around that longneck bottle
0:13:37 > 0:13:40# We'll all go out on a spree
0:13:41 > 0:13:44# For today is the last of Wild Bill Jones
0:13:44 > 0:13:49# Tomorrow be the last of me... #
0:14:03 > 0:14:06# So pass around that longneck bottle
0:14:07 > 0:14:10# We'll all go out on a spree
0:14:10 > 0:14:14# For today is the last of Wild Bill Jones
0:14:14 > 0:14:17# Tomorrow be the last of me. #
0:14:18 > 0:14:22CHEERING
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Obviously, it's gone down very well with our audience.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Very, very well.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, Wilson Davies, just tell me a little bit about this
0:14:31 > 0:14:35connection there is between Irish Scots music and bluegrass.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37So, what is the story of that?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Basically, when they emigrated out to America,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43at first it was actually called old-timey music.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Still going, mind you.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46And then it developed into the bluegrass.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and, more importantly, their music out with them.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56And they liked the sound of the bagpipes, the drone of the bagpipes.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59They were actually expensive and hard to make, bagpipes,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and hard to keep in tune.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04So they actually cross tuned the fiddles.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Why were they difficult to keep in tune?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Well, just the humidity and what have you
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and, probably, we're talking quite a long time ago as well.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They actually developed a fifth string on the banjo,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16which gave the banjo a drone.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So it was a drone that they were looking for? That "vrrr" sound?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Yes. They're looking for the drone.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24And so we can actually demonstrate some of the music that went across.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28We'll play first of all a tune that probably left from here
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Americans developed it or adapted it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37And they generally will go up a key and play it a lot faster.
0:15:38 > 0:15:45THEY PLAY MID-TEMPO FOLK TUNE
0:15:46 > 0:15:50There. Great sound. Now, how did it change, what did it sound like?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Well, again, what they'd do is they'd up the key,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56and this is how it goes.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01THEY PLAY UP-TEMPO FOLK SONG
0:16:01 > 0:16:10AUDIENCE CLAP ALONG
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Oh, it's just... CHEERING
0:16:15 > 0:16:16That is lovely.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It just explains the difference so well. Thank you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Thank you very much.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Now, we're going to move from music to poetry,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26because Anne Morrison-Smyth
0:16:27 > 0:16:29took herself off to Kesh Primary School in Fermanagh.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32She went there to teach the young primary-school children
0:16:32 > 0:16:34how to perform Ulster-Scots poetry,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37so let's see how they got on.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41CHILDREN: Hello, Anne. Hello, weans.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Our second name, Archer,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46is an Ulster-Scots second name.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51My relatives spoke in Ulster-Scots,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54so I'm kind of used to Ulster-Scots.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Well, the language is different,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01and it's a different texture to what you usually are saying.
0:17:01 > 0:17:09They use different words and they...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12They always make sense.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17I think it'll be really fun.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23So, weans, the poem that we're going to do the day is Yin Tae A Hunner.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26There's some very difficult words in this poem,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and you know the sound that I like to hear in Ulster-Scots poetry.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30And what is it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:32CHILDREN: Echt! Echt!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We like to get that good guttural sound, don't we?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36And whenever we're listening to your poetry,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39that's the sound that everybody listens for
0:17:39 > 0:17:40in good Ulster-Scots speakers.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Does everybody understand the poem?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45No. OK, what do yous not understand.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50What's "a'll coont ocht at ye a" mean?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, "a'll" is I will.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54"Coont" is count.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55"Ocht" is a funny word, isn't it?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57CHILDREN: Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59"Ocht" means anything.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Anything.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03"I can count to anything, you all."
0:18:04 > 0:18:07What does "Hi, am I naw quare an nifty" mean?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09"Hi, am I naw quare an nifty."
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That means "I'm the girl, or I'm the boy.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15"I can count!"
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What does "it's getting a weethin wechtie" mean?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20"It's getting a weethin wechtie."
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Well, that comes whenever you get to the length of "echty"
0:18:23 > 0:18:25here in the poem.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27"But at saxty, seiventy an echty
0:18:27 > 0:18:29"It's getting a weethin wechtie."
0:18:29 > 0:18:32"Wechtie" means it's getting a wee bit too much now.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Well, he listened to you for you started counting at one,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37and now we're at 80, so we're getting a bit "mmm".
0:18:37 > 0:18:41So that's what it means. A wee thin waity. Waity.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So if I count you in,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45will you read through the poem for me? OK?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yin, twa, three.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50ALL: "Yin Tae A Hunner."
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Yin twa an three

0:19:31 > 0:19:40CHEERING
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Abi. Abi, that was absolutely fantastic.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Do you enjoy doing Ulster-Scots poetry?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Of course, because I like saying, like,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53all the "A'll stop-afore A scunner" and stuff!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Aren't they the most brilliant words? Yeah. I know.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59And, you know, you just perform it so well.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01How is it that you manage to do that?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Do you talk Ulster-Scots at home?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Yes. My relatives used to speak Ulster-Scots.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Yeah. People like? My great-auntie and my great-uncle.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13So you've heard it, and here you are performing it now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Do you know, you're so good at it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18When there's family gatherings, do they say, "Come on, Abi,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21we want to have a wee bit of Ulster-Scots poetry?" Sometimes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yeah, they better.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Because they're in for a treat. It's absolutely lovely,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and we are just delighted to have her with us this evening. Thank you.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Now, Leanne, every time I come round the back here
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I see these lovely little cottages.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38They're called cockle cottages.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Cockle Row, yes. They are old fishermen's cottages.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43We don't really know the age of them
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Some historians say they're from the 17th century,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48which would be exactly the time of the Plantation
0:20:48 > 0:20:50and the people coming over here. But, yeah, they're lovely.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52So we new they were old, cos they've got little, small windows,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56if you look at them, they're tiny. The walls are very thick as well.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Can you imagine living in Groomsport 400 years ago?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01So they needed to be protected against the elements.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Now, you could have lost them altogether, couldn't you?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05But they were saved. Yeah, the sad thing is,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08obviously, developments happen so they destroy old buildings.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But in Groomsport, after a lot were destroyed,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13the community got together.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15So Bangor Art Club got together in the '60s
0:21:16 > 0:21:17and had a campaign to save the cottages.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19And yeah, they even had people thatching
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and had people from the local school rebuilding it. Super. Right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Every time we go to a different location
0:21:25 > 0:21:27we want to come up with some nice little quirky fact.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28So, what can you come up with?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30In the Bronze Age people used to travel across
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and cook in the area, so there were old cooking pits found
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So, basically, it's a hole in the ground, lined with wood.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You would heat stones in a fire,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41you would then put it into a water pit, in the trough,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and heat your meat on it. Cook a joint.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Cook a joint. Yeah. Or fish and chips.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It all started here. Indeed. Obviously.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50LAUGHTER
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Right. That's wonderful. That's the Groomsport fact.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Now, I wonder if a few months ago
0:21:56 > 0:21:58you saw the most fabulous documentary that was on television,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02where Tim McGarry, the comedian, he traced his Ulster-Scots roots?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Well, have a look at this.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I want to find out about an identity about which
0:22:09 > 0:22:14I know virtually nothing - Ulster-Scots.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21I think on occasion in future I will embrace my inner Ulster-Scot.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Isn't it brilliant that Tim McGarry's embracing
0:22:24 > 0:22:26his Ulster-Scots heritage?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28He's actually doing stand-up in the pub here,
0:22:29 > 0:22:36so I think the time is right to give him an Ulster-Scots challenge.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40It's a pleasure to be here. I am a political nerd.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44I'm on Facebook and I'm on Twitter. I have a few thousand friends.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47You know your life is going wrong, ladies and gentlemen,
0:22:47 > 0:22:52when you have 217 mutual friends with Jim Allister.
0:22:52 > 0:22:59That's not good.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And you think that's bad, and then you go on Twitter
0:23:02 > 0:23:07and you find out that you're being followed by Gerry Kelly.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13And not the nice one, the scary one. You know the fellow from UTV?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure talking to you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Enjoy the rest of your evening. Thank you very much.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21APPLAUSE
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Tim... Helen Mark off the telly! Thanks very much!
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Listen, you were in cracking form up there. It was brilliant.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Had them eating out the palm of your hand.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33But I have a bit of a challenge for you. Right...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I would like you to do a bit of stand-up comedy again,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40but this time I want you to deliver it in Ulster-Scots.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43In Ulster-Scots?! Yeah. Would you do that?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I thought that was Ulster-Scots. Pure proper Ulster-Scots? Yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Learn it and all? Yeah, learn it. Three minutes roughly.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Stand-up comedy, Ulster-Scots. Would you do that for us?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I could do that for you no problem at all. That would be brilliant!
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I know you're looking at me and you're going, "You know what?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00"If we could put that fella in a dress
0:24:00 > 0:24:06"we could definitely win next year's Eurovision."
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Here I am with Ian Parsley.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Ian, you are an author and a linguist
0:24:11 > 0:24:12all to do with Ulster-Scots.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I wonder is Tim going to be able to manage this challenge
0:24:15 > 0:24:16that I've set him?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Well, I have to say, it took me 14 years to research and draft
0:24:19 > 0:24:23in Ulster-Scots grammar, so doing this in 14 weeks is some task.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Do you think he'll manage it, though?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, we're going to try to help him do it.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31The first thing he will have to try to grasp is that language
0:24:31 > 0:24:33is a crossroads and language is always a mixing.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35And right here in Groomsport,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37we probably have a very good example of that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I grew up in the Brae, which is a Scots word for a slope near water.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I turned left to come here down the hill, which is
0:24:42 > 0:24:44an English word obviously.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46If I'd turned right I would've gone into Ard Na Ree
0:24:46 > 0:24:48the height of kings in Irish.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So we are right here at a linguistic crossroads,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and that's what Ulster-Scots is and that's what he'll have to play with.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Because no language happens in a vacuum, does it?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You think of the centuries, how language developed.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Some of the words that we use now are very distinctive to hear,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05but they've come from far away. From, what, Germanic languages...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Absolutely. If I say today was a braw day I can say it in Scots
0:25:08 > 0:25:10but I can say it in Danish.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14If I say, "We want to fecht," that's German as well as Scots.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16There are lots of words like that, and then there are words
0:25:17 > 0:25:20unique to Scots, like right behind us we have a lovely gloamin.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Oh, roamin' in the gloamin. Roamin' in the gloamin, yes, indeed.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25So there are lots of words like that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28There are also words which have slightly different meanings
0:25:28 > 0:25:29in Ulster-Scots.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You can starve with a cold as well as with hunger.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34If you say "I doot it'll rain," it means you think it will rain,
0:25:35 > 0:25:36not that you think it won't.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38And there are some words which just sound so good,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42like "slaister." I love that one. "I'm scunnered." The task is...
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Absolutely scunnered. The task is to be a comedian,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48and I think he's got plenty to play with there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You can "hae a gunk," you can "tak' a scunner,"
0:25:50 > 0:25:52you can have "scallions with hallions,"
0:25:52 > 0:25:55you can have all sorts of fun with lots of good words like that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I think you're going to be a really great help to him. You are.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You'll help him along the way? Well, I'll certainly try,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03but to use one of those words that has slightly different meanings
0:26:03 > 0:26:06in each language, in English and in Ulster-Scots he's a brave man.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08He is a brave man, and you know we love him for that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Thank you, Ian Parsley. Thank you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Right, time for a little bit more music from The Broken String Band.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16This time you're going to play Midnight On The Highway.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Take it away, boys.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36# Midnight on the highway
0:26:37 > 0:26:40# And the stars are all aglow
0:26:40 > 0:26:43# And it seems I'm always drivin'
0:26:44 > 0:26:47# And I miss my darlin' so
0:26:47 > 0:26:50# Midnight on the highway
0:26:51 > 0:26:54# Big bright moon above
0:26:54 > 0:26:58# It lights the white lines for me
0:26:58 > 0:27:02# On way home to my love... #
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Right, well, that's all we have time for from Groomsport,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and I'd like to thank everyone in the Walter Nelson Hall tonight
0:27:10 > 0:27:12for joining us. It's been absolutely wonderful.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Our next stop is Glenarm
0:27:15 > 0:27:18when we will be previewing the Dalriada Festival,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and we'll be meeting this couple who are hoping to plan a wedding,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but they want to do it Ulster-Scots style.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I hated him.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30We just never... We never did...
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Just never really got on that well...
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Will they make it to the altar? We'll have to wait and see.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43All the best. Bye!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48# Can you hear the wheels a hummin'
0:27:48 > 0:27:52# As we roll on through the night
0:27:52 > 0:27:55# My desire is to hold you
0:27:55 > 0:27:59# And I'll be home 'fore daylight
0:27:59 > 0:28:03# Midnight on the highway
0:28:03 > 0:28:07# Big bright moon above
0:28:07 > 0:28:10# It lights the white lines for me
0:28:10 > 0:28:14# On my way home to my love
0:28:14 > 0:28:17# Now the shadows quickly fadin'
0:28:18 > 0:28:21# As a town comes into view
0:28:21 > 0:28:24# A few more hours my journey's over
0:28:25 > 0:28:28# And again I'll be with you
0:28:29 > 0:28:32# Midnight on the highway
0:28:32 > 0:28:36# Big bright moon above
0:28:36 > 0:28:39# It lights the white lines for me
0:28:40 > 0:28:43# On my way home to my love
0:28:44 > 0:28:47# On my way home to my love. #
