For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great archive session from Jim Johnstone and his Scottish Dance Band. Recorded in Edinburgh in 1994, Gary chats to Marie Fielding who played fiddle for the session about her memories of the night. Plus Gary's guest is Gaelic singer, children’s entertainer and TV presenter, Donnie 'Dotaman' MacLeod. He picks some of his favourite tracks and chats to Gary about his varied career in TV and music.
