Fundraiser Launched To Help Playfair Music

The Sarnia-Lambton community is rallying to help Steve Dumont and Playfair Music after the Mitton St. complex was destroyed by fire early Monday morning.

Chris Coates has worked with Dumont and Playfair Music for 20 years.

He says a GoFundMe site has been set up to temporarily cover costs with insurance claims pending.

Coates is hopeful the business will reopen one day.

The building, that offered a fully equipped recording studio and rehearsal rooms, music equipment repair, a retail store as well as music lessons, band camps and recital concerts was gutted with damage estimated at $500,000.
