YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A British pianist and YouTuber has been accosted by a furious Chinese TV crew who demanded he delete video showing their faces, despite being filmed in a public place.

Brendan Kavanaugh, who regularly livestreams his public performances to more than two million subscribers, was playing on a piano in a London shopping center on Friday when the bizarre confrontation erupted as hundreds of viewers watched on, leading to police being called to defuse the situation.

Clips of the incident have since gone viral on X with millions of views.

“This is insane,” GB News commentator Lee Harris wrote.

“Brendan Kavanagh, a YouTuber and pianist, was legally playing and filming in a public place. A group visiting from communist China didn’t like it and told him he couldn’t film them. The police were terrible. This is Britain. Not China.”
