However, in February 2008 The Independent reported that Burial was an alumnus of south London's Elliott School named William Bevan (another alumnus, Hot Chip's Joe Goddard, said in 2006 that Burial was in the year above him).Burial's page on BMI's Repertoire Search credits all his songs to William Bevan.
