A couple of comments - I hope they are welcome here:


 * 1) I think it should soft-pedal the "acclaimed as leading str 4tet" bit. That Bath quote is simply re-using the Badke website text so it's a bit ... meh ... as a source for their, er, leadingness.
 * 2) I'd call it "Royal Holloway, University of London" OR "Royal Holloway University of London". One or the other, nothing else. I am not sure what is right of those two but the "in" is definitely wrong. I used to work at QMUL and like all the not-Imperial, not-UCL, not-whatever colleges/universities it has been through horrible contortions with the name, the comma, the UoL branding - the whole thing. I think QM lost the comma but in at least some places on the RH site it looks like they maybe still use it. Like I say, it is definitely one or the other of my options though - you need OF and you need, or do not need, a comma!
 * 3) How frequent is frequent in R3 appearances?
 * 4) It's a while since they did West Cork? Again it's a question of the overall picture.

I hope this helps a bit. My general feeling is that they are, of course, notable. (OR: I asked a string player, to whom I happen to be married ... we can cite this, surely?) but that we have to be a bit careful - all young 4tets' websites contain a lot of the same or similar claims, gigs, festivals, etc and the more we can quote that isn't just their standard promo stuff, the better.

Hope this helps a bit; if it does not, sorry and I will shut up and wait for it to hit article space.

 * Comments are certainly welcome. You could have just gone ahead and made the changes. Anyway, most are done. The university website says "of" so I went with that. --Ravpapa (talk) 18:54, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I wasn't sure about the etiquette regarding making, rather than suggesting, changes to an article still in someone's sandbox. Best wishes, DBaK (talk) 18:57, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
