In this episode, hosts Ange and Johnny tour this sacred structure with The Spire's General Manager, Sam MacLeod, to understand the site's history as a circus grounds and religious sanctuary through to its transformation into an inclusive and vibrant arts and community hub, and innovative, 750-seat live music venue featuring some of the richest and most unique acoustics in Kingston.Music in this episode:Losing You by Stucco (recorded live at The Spire for the KPP at 20 compilation, released 2021)Hosts:Ange SteverJohnny SanLinks:The Spire https://kingstonlive.ca/resource/1191615/viewSydenham Street United Church http://sydenhamstreet.ca/ssuc1/Lionhearts' The Embassy Live Music Café https://www.lionhearts.ca/the-embassyCanada’s LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce Rainbow Registered program https://rainbowregistered.ca/Kingston live music and festival listings https://kingstonlive.ca/Soundwise http://soundwise.audioSign up for Kingston music news, local concert and event listings and announcements delivered to your inbox monthly, weekly or even daily.
