Re: Fabric Closing

Yeah same here, I didn't know John Peel had played there

He released a Fabric Cd.

Re: Fabric Closing

Really? What are they? Are they sent to members or on general sale?

Re: Fabric Closing

They now want money to keep the club open

RA News: fabric launches fundraising campaign to fight closure

If they got Sasha, John Digweed, Joris Voorn, Carl Cox and everybody else getting a great salary for playing there (twice a year), to chip in, they would not have to ask the punters that work a lot harder just to go to the club. This is poor form.

Re: Fabric Closing

Grown man rocks up at Fabric

Sorry son not tonight

Why not?

Sorry son your trainers are not up to scratch

No you don't understand when this club was going under, I donated money.

Ok son now fuck off

No really I gave money.

Look just fuck off cunt, before you get a shoeing.

Re: Fabric Closing

Maybe we should bail out bankers if they have financial problems.

Re: Fabric Closing

How is money gonna solve this? Are they cashing out before the club closes for good?

Re: Fabric Closing

^^ Legal bills etc. I have a soft spot for Fabric, they gave me a free CD , but they are being adversarial at the wrong time.

It's not about the money. It's about our way of life & all that we stand for.

It would be useful if they give specific details on how much money they need and for what? Maybe there is more information and did not do any research but those lines sounds very romantic with no content on what kind of battle they are facing?


If it´s money to get their licence back and they think they will win like the other time they took police on in court, there are a few commercial financial options they could do in order to raise the money they need.. Surely those who might participate on something like this will do it for bussines..


Asking for money with #savefabric #savenightlife sounds not only naive but a message of someone desperate that don´t have a plan... Only knows they need money and they are not planning returning that money back... kinda weak strategy imo.

Not to push forward a crass attitude. However, if you have ever retained legal services...the fees add up on the quick tip.

makes sense.. Maybe is not the best timing.


I don´t know.. "Donate to our campaign to #saveourculture today. It could be your last chance".. This strong message needs more planification than donations imo but yeah, maybe not going public so soon.

Big Djs could do more too.. i mean, couple of free gigs or something.

lol really Bedrock? £500? That's borderline offensive... btw £500 is something you pay for half an hour Digweed? £4000 for a 4 hours show? Not saying is cheap or anything but i was soooo mistaken about the numbers i´ve imagined

He used to play for 6 hours in the 2000's. Rumours were around 10k.

More than likely, certain artists have contributed monetary funds on the anonymous tip rather than up front.
