Making a welcome return to Take The Floor is Fergie MacDonald and his Ceilidh Band.

Born Ferguson MacDonald, Fergie descends from a direct line of Moidart MacDonald Clanranalds. Sherrifmuir, the 1745 Jacobite rising, Culloden and the highland clearances are all in the genetic mix. He is a Gaelic speaking indigenous Gael with all the trimmings of Moidart culture and history.
Educated at Mingarry Primary and Fort William High Schools before joining the army and becoming a physical training instructor. On leaving the army he graduated as a physiotherapist in Glasgow.
Formed his first band in 1953, had his first BBC radio broadcast and first television appearances in 1964 and, to date, has recorded no less than 32 vinyl, cassette and CD albums. - See more at: http://www.fergiemacdonald.com/about.html#sthash.JesGDHu0.dpuf
