For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great archive session featuring the late John Renton and his Scottish Dance Band. John very sadly passed away recently, but it is a real treat for us to bring you this session again, first broadcast back in 2003.
We then have a very special session for you in the second hour too, with Rory Matheson, Ewen Henderson, and Gary Innes himself in the studio! Jennifer caught up with the three of them to hear about their upcoming tour and find out how this fantastic trio came to be.
