For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a brilliant compilation programme for you, featuring several of your favourite dance bands.
In the second hour, we have some fantastic features for you too. Gary catches up with North-East singer, Robert Lovie, to hear all about a special tribute concert that is being arranged in memory of the late, great, Robbie Shepherd. We also feature a special events series taking place at the Edinburgh Festival Theatres, called Comfy Ceilidh. These events are organised to support people suffering with dementia, and give them and their carers a space to enjoy Scottish Traditional music and song. Finally, we have some great music from the graduating students of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, who visited Â鶹Éç's Pacific Quay in Glasgow at the end of March. There, they met with Take the Floor's producer Jennifer, as well as the producer of Travelling Folk, to gain experience in a professional recording environment, work on their interview skills, and take a tour of the Â鶹Éç's facilities. This resulted in some excellent music, which we are delighted to share with you on this programme.
