Starfire Band "Community Addictions Peer Support Association (CAPSA) “It was exciting to see the band set up with the experience of playing for many years. It was great when the audience began to react to Starfire, and it was even better when they started telling me directly that I had picked a great band. What really sealed the deal was when the professional soundman and MC both personally said to me that’s a great band. Starfire’s has great talent, and what sets them apart is their love for playing…it makes for a memorable night of favourite songs and irresistible dance music. Definitely planning on having them back, and if you are arranging to have them play at your event – don’t forget to invite me!” - Gord Garner, Executive Director" Based in Ottawa, Ontario (90 miles from Kingston) Gord Garner - Community Addictions Pert Support Association
