For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a brilliant compilation programme for you, featuring several of your favourite dance bands.
In the second hour, we have some fantastic features for you too. Gary catches up with North-East singer, Robert Lovie, to hear all about a special tribute concert that is being arranged in memory of the late, great, Robbie Shepherd. We also feature a special events series taking place at the Edinburgh Festival Theatres, called Comfy Ceilidh. These events are organised to support people suffering with dementia, and give them and their carers a space to enjoy Scottish Traditional music and song. Finally, we have some great music from the graduating students of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, who visited 91Èȱ¬'s Pacific Quay in Glasgow at the end of March. There, they met with Take the Floor's producer Jennifer, as well as the producer of Travelling Folk, to gain experience in a professional recording environment, work on their interview skills, and take a tour of the 91Èȱ¬'s facilities. This resulted in some excellent music, which we are delighted to share with you on this programme.
