Grumpy bishop in dressing gown shuts down church concert due to 'terrible racket'
The City Academy Voices choir was coming to a conclusion at St Andrew's church in Holburn, on Friday night when the performance was interrupted by the Bishop Jonathan Baker.
Bishop Baker, who is the Bishop of Fulham, came onto the altar where he branded the performance a 'racket' and told attendees and performers the evening was 'over.' A grumpy bishop shut down a church concert just five minutes before the end due to the 'terrible racket' as he urged attendees to 'leave' his house. Pic: TikTok
Clips circulating social media show Bishop Baker, dressed in a dressing gown, saying: 'You are in my house and that's it, it's gone past ten and this is a terrible racket.
'Goodnight. Thank you. Goodnight. You are in my house, can you leave it now please.'
He added: 'Thank you, it's over. Thank you.' @hornbergercello Our cute little concert came to an abrupt end #music #choir #bishop #church #london #singer #singers #drama #musicans #horror #priest #uk #fyp #fy #shame #insulting ♬ original sound – Kristen Reilly
The next clip saw those attending cheering for the performers, who wrapped up with a rendition of ABBA's Dancing Queen.
A church employee is then tasked with getting the crowd to vacate the church quietly, much to the annoyance of everyone else.

She then turned to the performers asking them to 'leave the stage' prompting boos and jeers from attendees.
The Daily Mail report that the choir had been performing a special summer concert on the night, and had previously booked the venue with no issues.
Those involved in the performance were shocked, with choir director Leigh Stanford Thompson branding it as 'bizarre.'
Speaking to the Guardian, he said: 'We all went out to the pub afterwards and took it all in. Everyone was in astonishment really.'
The director added that he found it funny and wasn't 'particularly upset' but felt it was a 'real shame' the members of the choir didn't get to finish their show.
It has since been revealed that Bishop Baker has apologised to the performers having learned of earlier technical difficulties which led to delays in the show.

'The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings. 'By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity. 'This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.' Nick agreed and claimed: 'Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that's not flashy but totally on trend.
