Bedford was an avant garde composer of some reputation before he of all fourth dimension stepped into the rock arena, where he became associated with progressive/New Age composer Mike Oldfield, as the director and orchestrator on several of his plant. He has besides worked as a conductor and orchestrator with Elvis Costello, Roy Harper, A-ha, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and Madness, among former performers. He emerged as a rock composer during the mid-1970's in the awake of his work with Oldfield on Tubular Bells, with the progressive rock music creation albums The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and The Odyssey. Bedford's interest with rock music euphony came almost by stroke. His real champaign and calling lie in the land of contemporary classical music, where he was well established long ahead he ever got involved with Oldfield. He was educated at the Royal Academy of Music and Trinity College, London, and taught for a time at the Whitfield School in Hendon. He was composer-in-resident at Queens College, London, from 1969 through 1981, and is an Associate Visiting Composer at Gordonstoun, Scotland. His calling as a serious avant garde composer began in the former 1960's, and he crossed over into popular music in the waken of his scoring of a theatrical work called From Marie Antoinette To the Beatles. This plan brought him into contact with the manager of the Soft Machine, world Health Organization leased Bedford to orchestrate Pleasure of a Toy, the first solo record album by the group's fall flat, Kevin Ayers, released on EMI's progressive rock music Harvest label. He became the keyboard participant in Ayers' band, non solely on that record but those that followed, and he also performed with the group in concert. It was in Ayers' band that he low met bassist Mike Oldfield. Bedford began recording his possess euphony in the early 1970's. His first album, Nurses Song With Elephants, was released in 1972 on the Dandelion label. He continued penning avant garde serious music during this period of time, including a operate entitled Star Clusters, Nebulae, and Places in Devon for refrain and orchestra. Soon after, Oldfield, whose inclinations toward musical composition had been encouraged by Bedford during their time together in Ayers' band, developed Tubelike Bells, an elongated subservient art object that Bedford orchestrated and conducted for the recording. This was the record that launched the Virgin label, becoming a behemoth international hit. He after performed a similar purpose on Oldfield's follow-up, Hergest Ridge, and rearranged Tubular Bells as a saturated orchestral art object, which he recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The success with Oldfield's original tone ending of Tubelike Bells, both on its initial release and through its subsequent use on the picture the Exorcist, transformed Virgin from a diminutive newcomer independent enunciate into a major palmy headache. Virgin became a equal to the Island, Harvest, and Charisma labels as an exit for progressive euphony, with a roster that shortly included Kevin Coyne, Gong, Hatfield & The North, and Henry Cow. Bedford became a orchestrate beneficiary of Virgin's growth in 1974 with his recording of Star's End, a piece of avant garde serious music that had been written as a committal from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Although Star's End was a pure orchestral man written in a serious musical artistic style, it was a pocket-sized success in the progressive stone arena, its sales spurred by Bedford's association with Tube-shaped Bells and Virgin. In 1975, Bedford premiered his Rime of the Ancient Mariner, an adjustment of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge verse form. It had started life as a proposed children's opera, just he after distinct that it would work better as an record album recording, released by Virgin. In contrast to his before work, which involved more traditional orchestral forces, this work relied on multi-layered electronic keyboards (all played by Bedford), with Mike Oldfield tributary the electrical guitar parts and the worker Robert Powell (Gustav Mahler, The Thirty-Nine Steps, Jesus of Nazareth, Hannay) narrating. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was a success, and encouraged Bedford to attempt peerless more major work meeting classical and careen elements. The Odyssey was non only recorded by Virgin but likewise premiered as a concert work at Royal Albert Hall on January 25, 1977, featuring Jon Lord, Mike Ratledge, Dave Stewart, Peter Lerner, and Neil Ardley, as well as Mike Oldfield on guitar. The studio recording included not only Oldfield but likewise the services of Andy Summers on guitar for "Circe's Island." Bedford's medicine, like that of more traditional reform-minded stone artists, suffered a refuse in popularity in the bit half of the 1970's. The Odyssey was his last major release in a popular mode, just he has continued to write and disk unplayful pieces substantially into the 1980's and 1990's, including Rigel 9 (1988) and Star Clusters, Nebulae, and Places in Devon (1993).

the popular series from multi-platinum popular artists including Natasha
Bedingfield and Avril Lavigne and by guest star Thomas who performs
musically in the special.

highest rated of all in its time period with kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14. In
first quarter (1Q) 2008, iCarly was the 2nd highest-rated live-action
series on all of cable among both kids 6-11 and 9-14 just behind Zoey 101

show and, adding insult to injury, iCarly's great new band is axed and
leader Harper is forced to play silly Zeebo the Dinosaur. Carly's sassy
sidekick and best pal Sam is fired and replaced by demanding young diva
Amber, and tech producer Freddie is reduced to fetching bagels and cleaning
toilets. Pushed to the breaking point, Carly tries to quit, but the TV
honcho proclaims he now owns her show!
