For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great band session from Ian Muir and his Scottish Dance Band. This archive session was the last one to be recorded for Take the Floor in BBC Scotland's Queen Margaret Drive before the studios moved to Pacific Quay in 2007.

And Gary's guest is Craig Espie who tells Gary all about how he got into music and ended up joining the band Skerryvore. They also chat about the children's book and album project Craig has been working on called Mr Goose.
