For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a brilliant session lined up from Ewan Galloway and his Scottish Dance Band. Ewan himself then joins Gary for a chat, as we hear about how he began playing the accordion, and his connection with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, which has taken him all over the world. We also chat about his long running radio show, and his online music sessions at the Stagger Inn - a venture that began in lockdown, but has continued to bring music and joy to people across the world.
