Bangor Cathedral choir suspended after singing ‘inappropriate’ hymn

In latest scandal embroiling the Welsh cathedral, choir performed piece to protest about job losses and then walked out

A cathedral choir has been suspended after it performed an “entirely inappropriate” piece protesting about job losses during holy communion.

Bangor Cathedral, which was criticised earlier this year over a culture of excessive drinking, sexual promiscuity and inappropriate banter, said it had “paused all choir activity” for a month after the incident. It also said that Joe Cooper, the cathedral’s director of music, was “currently away from his duties”.
