For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a wonderful band session from Michael Phillip and his Scottish Dance Band, and share with you some of the highlights of the National Accordion and Fiddle Clubs Festival held in Grangemouth on the 4th of March.

This was the first time the festival had taken place LIVE in person for 3 years, following two years of online and virtual meetings, and the atmosphere was just brilliant. Jennifer was lucky enough to go along, and captured some of the very best performances of the day to share with you.
