00:00Sadiq Khan told Times Radio on Thursday that St Pools and Fabric have come to an arrangement
00:06where when the cathedral's not being used for religious events, it will be used for entertainment.
00:13He said Fabric's owners recognised the beauty of St Pools and respected its status as a sacred place.
00:21The mayor said the deal would lead to people being attracted to go to St Pools who hadn't yet been
00:26to the cathedral.
00:27His initial response to the announcement when he described Fabric and St Pools as an iconic duo prompted a backlash.
00:37Responding to the criticism, Lord Khan noted he did not run the religious venue nor the famous clubbing institution.
00:45Earlier this week, the cinematic orchestra was revealed as the first act to perform in the series of seated gigs
00:51on 29th October.
00:54St Pools has emphasised the seated minimal amplification.
00:59Concerts will not be dance events.
01:02Organisers confirmed no alcohol will be served and guests will not be allowed to bring alcohol inside.
01:09Before later reopening, Fabric nightclub had its licence revokes in 2016,
01:16after Islington Council found it had a culture of drug use.
01:20Two 18-year-olds died in separate incidents that year after taking illegal substances in the venue.
