Daniel Avery, Elijah, and Plastician are among the first to ask London’s new mayor to speak up for fabric
In light of the recent news that fabric will be indefinitely closed until Islington Council have convened on a decision about the club’s license, DJs have taken to Twitter to ask Sadiq Khan to stand up for London nightlife. fabric mainstays including Daniel Avery, Artwork and Plastician are among the first to ask London’s new mayor to speak up for fabric.
When Khan was elected earlier this year he spoke to Dazed about his intentions to help save the city’s nightlife saying, “I don’t want young and creative Londoners abandoning our city to head to Amsterdam, to Berlin, to Prague where clubs are supported and allowed to flourish.” His comments have now prompted some members of the electronic music community to call on him to make good on his promises.
See some of the calls-to-action below.
Dear @SadiqKhan, if ever there was an opportunity to make a mark, here it is. @fabriclondon needs your help, man

First test @SadiqKhan … What you going to do about fabric?
— Elijah (@Eli1ah) August 15, 2016
Crazy that @SadiqKhan is promoting a campaign called #londonisopen when so many Londoners are having things closed on them.

So @SadiqKhan here’s a real test of your mettle. https://t.co/y2BOn45dIA How serious about London’s “night time economy” are you?
