For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great band session from our archives, featuring John Renton and his Scottish Dance Band, performing in Dunoon, in March 2001. For our guest this week, we have a man of many talents - musician, composer, arranger, tutor, and conductor, John Logan. John joins us to tell us all about his musical career, from a childhood of playing the accordion, right up to his role as conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
