The Ian Smith Band Live

Join Gary Innes for a live Take the Floor with The Ian Smith Band in session.

Join Gary Innes for a live Take the Floor. We have The Ian Smith Band in session live from our Pacific Quay studios as we celebrate Celtic Connections 2021.

Plus also performing for us are two previous winners of the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year. Singer Hannah Rarity and multi-instrumentalist Anna Massie perform a special duo session for us. And Gary's guest is another past BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year winner, piper Stuart Cassells. Stuart joins Gary to chat about how the competition has grown and developed since it started in 2001.
