Jonathan Baker complained over noise ‘in my house’, telling stunned singers night is ‘over’
The City Academy Voices choir had just finished belting out The Supremes hit, I’m Gonna Make You Love Me, when the lights went out and they were joined by an unexpected guest.
As they were about to perform their last song, a man appeared on stage wearing a blue dressing gown with no shoes. He took the mic, described their singing as a “terrible racket” and told them to get out, leaving the 360-odd people in the room shocked and dumfounded.
“You are in my house, can you leave it now please,” he said. The man, it appears,was Jonathan Baker, the bishop of Fulham. In a video posted on social media, the bishop can be seen telling the choir its past 10pm and called for the night to be “over”.
“It was so bizarre,” said Lee Stanford Thompson, the choir director, describing the incident that took place on Monday night. “I’ve never experienced anything like it.”
