Duncan Showroom closing its doors after building sold

The Duncan Showroom must vacate its downtown location by Dec 31 after the building sold earlier this month; Longevity John Falkner has rented the space since 2004.
Falkner learned the building was listed for $769,000 in September before receiving news of the sale, timing the announcement just hours before he departed for the Folk Canada Conference in Hamilton.
Brandon Isaak and Malakai are set to perform Nov 30 as the venue maintains a packed schedule, while Falkner sustains his positive outlook despite the transition.
To maintain operations, Falkner is exploring temporary live-streamed performances with the Senior Centre and St. Peters Anglican Church for early 2027, while seeking warehouse space for a new dance floor.
"Soon, I get a new canvas," Falkner said, embracing the transition with characteristic optimism and confidence that a suitable replacement venue will emerge.
