Leigh Stanford Thompson
Leigh Stanford Thompson is a choir director known for his leadership of the City Academy Voices choir, which recently performed in a summer concert at St Andrew church in Holborn, London. His final concert with the choir unexpectedly turned chaotic when Bishop Jonathan Baker interrupted the performance, describing the choir's singing as a 'terrible racket' and asking them to leave, much to the shock of the audience. Despite the abrupt ending to what was meant to be a celebratory event, Thompson expressed that the evening remained memorable and reflected on the unique experience with humor.
