For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. This week we share a session from The Drumsmiths, recorded back in March 2022. The band get their interesting name from the fact that all the members play percussion, as well as other instruments. There are also several drum-themed tunes to look forward to! Plus, Gary is joined by the one and only Blair Douglas, to chat about his incredible career of performing and composing, and to celebrate the release of his new album, Dancing Feet.
