For the very best in traditional music and song, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. Our session this week comes from The Seamus O'Sullivan Experience recorded in 2017.
Plus Gary's guest is Gaelic singer Mary Sandeman. A Gold Medal winner at The Mòd and a successful Gaelic singer performing with the likes of Calum Kennedy and Alasdair Gillies, Mary had a foray into pop music stardom in the 1980s as Aneka with her hit Japanese Boy. She chats to Gary about her musical career and her passion for Gaelic music and language.
