Denise Benson on Toronto’s Club Culture
On November 7th, the amazing Denise Benson stopped by the Bloor/Gladstone branch to talk about her GridTO series "Then and Now", chronicling the history of Toronto's nightclub scene. Those in the packed audience were treated to an overview of Toronto dance and live music venues from the 70s to present, detailing the significance of clubs like The Edge, Nuts & Bolts and Komrads both to musicians as well as the LGBTQ and many other communities as supports and gathering places.
For those of you weren't able to make it to the event, check out Denise's interview with CBC Metro Morning's Matt Galloway, delivered earlier in the day (skip to about 2/3rds of the through if you want to miss the earlier story about the American elections).
