For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a fantastic archive session from the Wallochmor Ceilidh Band, recorded back in 1984. We then have a very special tribute to Scottish horticulturalist, presenter and writer Jim McColl, who sadly passed away recently. We give you another chance to hear an interview recorded for the Reel Blend back in 2002 for the Roads of Summer feature, where Robbie Shepherd met Jim McColl to discuss their shared loves of gardening and traditional music.
