[1] The programme was given its present name of Take the Floor in 1978 by Chris Worrall, a Music Producer with BBC Radio Scotland (1978-82), who introduced 'live sessions' and 'programme road shows' touring Scotland, together with player interviews, an events diary and reviews of latest record/CD releases.
The original programme was presented by David Findlay until his death in 1980 and then by Robbie Shepherd until he stepped down in 2016.
In keeping with its predecessor, the current programme also features live sessions from top dance bands, individual musicians and vocalists from across the country.
[3] The theme music for the Saturday evening show is the traditional Scottish reel "Kate Dalrymple", and the theme for the Sunday afternoon request show is "Gary Innes Takes the Floor", the second half of which harks back to the theme of the Saturday evening show, written and performed by Fergie MacDonald, from his 50th album "The Ceilidh King: Fergie's 50th Album".
