Individual does not appear to meet notability guidelines for musicians. Article contains no references, and a search for such references turns up nothing viable for establishing a claim of notability. Subject is currently neither Principal nor Chair trombonist but merely performs at the Royal Opera House. For these reasons, I propose that the article on him be deleted.

Keep - The article does make the assertion that he was principal trombonist for the London Philharmonic Orchestra. It isn't sourced but it bears inverstigattion and would establish notability. That aside, his win of the BBC Young Musician of the Year received lots of coverage: [1], [2], [3], [4]. -- Whpq (talk) 16:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep -- We have masses of articles on bands of whom I have never heard. I do not see why we should not keep articles on orchestral musicians. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:55, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
