For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a brilliant session for you from the Tom Orr Dance Band, recorded back in April 2023. Gary is then joined by former Battlefield Band member, and renowned multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer, John McCusker. John tells us all about his new group, the John McCusker Trio, and about his many new ventures, including a new podcast called Common Threads.
