When Fabric nightclub opened on 29 October 1999, it did so with one unexpected visitor. Banksy. “He came in on the opening night as an unknown street artist and tagged the club,” one of its founders, Cameron Leslie, recalls. “And, you know, got caught by security doing it.”
Leslie got called out to the back to deal with the interloper, whom he describes as “this guy with a bag full of spray cans and tags on the wall. I just wanted to rip his head off, because I was so angry that somebody would do that to your pride and joy.”
