For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great archive band session from Ron Kerr and his Scottish Dance Band recorded in 2005. Plus Gary's guest is journalist and broadcaster, Jackie Bird. Jackie is presenting BBC Scotland's 'Scotland's People' programme once again this year and she tells us how you can get involved and nominate your your special person or community group. She also tells Gary about her love of music and singing and how she nearly had a very different career as a singer with Paul Weller.
