Boys of the Loch
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a great band session for you from the Boys of the Loch.
For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. Our session tonight is from Boys of the Loch - so called as all the members have a connection to the Loch Lomond area. Several of their tunes also share this connection to Loch Lomond too. Joining Gary on the programme is our guest, TV presenter and broadcaster Anne McAlpine to share some of her favourite memories of her childhood and career so far.
