For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. In session we have the brilliant Alan Crookston and his Scottish Dance Band for you. Following Alan and his band, we have a special Gaelic extravaganza, as we bring you clips and interviews from an impressive concert, held in Glasgow back in March. Organised by Ruairidh Gray, the concert features over 80 previous Royal National MOD Gold Medal Winners, as well as an impressive orchestra featuring students from the Royal Conservatoire. Jennifer went along to hear more about the idea behind the concert, watch the brilliant performances, and catch up with some of the MOD Medal Winners of the past.
Featuring interviews with Eilidh Cormack, Mairi MacInnes, Alistair Gilles, James Graham, Kirsty Graham, and Ruairidh Gray.
