by An angry bishop in a dressing dress interrupted a service in London and asked singers to stop their “terrible racket” and “leave his house”.
The Choir of the City Academy Voices came to the end of her performance in St. Andrew’s in Holborn on Friday evening in St. Andrews in Holborn when the lights were suddenly switched off.
The video film material, which has since become viral on social media, shows the bishop of Fulham Jonathan Baker, who tells the members of the audience that they should go home.
The angry bishop said: “You are in my house. It is gone after 10 p.m. and this is a terrible racket. Good night. You are in my house – please leave it now. Thank you, it’s over.”
Members of the 300 strong audience seemed to be observed in Bemusement when Bishop Barfoot was in front of the microphone and in his dressing dress.
An employee of the church then asked the crowd to step back from the stage and pull Boos out of the audience.
In the clip, the members of the audience ensured that the actors gave a big round of applause and cheer and gasped while working.
The choir played one last song, an A -cappella version of Abbas Dancing Queen before it ended her show.
Benedict Collins, who took part in the concert with his 10-year-old daughter, told Sky News, at first he thought that the interruption was a staged joke.
“The church willingly rents the premises for money,” he said. “You can hardly be surprised if you make bookings for concerts and there are music in the hall.”
He criticized the bishop’s statements and sent that the choir had worked for the performance “like crazy”.
“This work deserves respect not to be reduced as a ‘terrible racket’,” he added.
Mr. Collins said that the bishop had just had a bad day, admitted that he should apologize for his behavior that was “not acceptable”.
A spokesman for the Diocese of London told The Guardian: “Bishop Jonathan turned to the organizers on Saturday to apologize for his late evening appearance at the concert, which he had now exceeded due to technical difficulties.”
