Robbie Shepherd has a session from Jim Johnstone and his band from Dunecht Hall in 1992, plus he is joined by the band's fiddler Marie Fielding.
Robbie Shepherd brings to you the very best of Scottish Traditional music and song. For this weekend's session, we dig into the Take The Floor archive and share a favourite sound from the past, Jim Johnstone and his Band from Dunecht Hall 1992. Robbie is then joined by the fiddler from within that band, Marie Fielding as guest. We also keep you up to date with the latest CD releases.
