Celebrating the Centenary of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We are celebrating the centenary of the RSCDS with a great session from David Oswald and his band.
We are celebrating the centenary of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society with a session from David Oswald and his band. Joining Gary are several special guests from the RSCDS including Chair William Williamson and Chair-Elect Gary Coull. They provide some history on the organisation, and share how they have been celebrating this momentous 100th Anniversary. We also have some guests joining us from as far away as Canada and Australia, to tell us all about the international branches of the RSCDS and how Scottish Country Dancing has spread around the world.
