For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. This week we treat you to a new session from Lindsay Weir and her Scottish Dance Band. We also pay tribute to the late Ian Green, founder of the record label Greentrax, one of Scotland's leading record companies. Greentrax have worked with, recorded, and published music from countless Scottish artists over the years, and have helped bands to grow and thrive. We celebrate the life and career of Ian Green, with a special archive interview recorded with Robbie Shepherd.
