For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We treat you to a great band session from Robert Nairn and his Highland Dance Band.

This weekend we welcome Robert Nairn Highland Dance Band in session. Gary is then joined by the former Park Bar Landlady Nina Steele. Nina has recently stepped down from running the infamous traditional music venue, and Highlands hotspot, the Park Bar, in Finnieston, Glasgow. She now joins us on the programme to reflect on her favourite memories and to share her secrets to success.
