For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. This week, a new band to Take the Floor, Boys of the Loch.
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. This week we have a great session from a new band to Take the Floor, Boys of the Loch. The band is led by Neil MacEachern and all members have a connection to the Loch Lomond area, as do most of their tunes. Plus Gary's guest is Shetland fiddler, Ross Couper. He tells Gary about his family background in music and picks some of his favourite tracks.
