For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. Charlie Kirkpatrick and his band are in session, with some great dances and tunes for us. Gary is then joined by composer and fiddle player Paul Anderson to discuss a very special project honouring another legendary Scottish fiddler, James Scott Skinner. Paul tells us all about his idea to get a statue of James Scott Skinner erected in his birthplace of Banchory, and how you can get involved in helping to memorialise such a well known and celebrated composer.
