    Its a shame that the people who write obituaries can't get simple facts right !
    Bedfords famous "Balloon music 1" (1973) becomes this in the Torygraph

    " A 1960s work included 1,000 balloons being scraped and rubbed, while a 1972 piece for Pierre Boulez’s Roundhouse Proms involved members of the audience playing 100 kazoos, "

    "With 100 Kazoos" is part of the excellent Universal Edition Music For Young Players series which was a bold attempt at creating a repertoire of pieces for educational use composed by a range of composers including Bedford, George Self, Brian Dennis, Bernard Rands etc

      How very sad. We should have heard much more of him at the proms.
