For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have an incredible session for you to ring in the New Year, from the Ceilidh King himself, Fergie MacDonald. Fergie is joined by his Big Band - 9 musicians! - and they have some wonderful music lined up. Gary is also joined by his special guest, comedian and actor Jonathan Watson, star of Only and Excuse? and Two Doors Down, to hear about some of his Hogmanay traditions.
