Jack Delaney Scottish Dance Band and David Halcrow Scottish Dance Band
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have not one, but two very special sessions from the archives to share with you.
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have not one, but two very special sessions from the archives to share with you - from Jack Delaney and his Scottish Dance Band, and David Halcrow and his Scottish Dance Band. Both sessions were originally recorded for Take the Floor in the mid 1980s.
Gary is then joined by the man behind the folk band Beluga Lagoon, Andrew O'Donnell, to hear more about how his music career began and how he is coping with the incredible recent rise in popularity.
