Talk:Liffey Light Orchestra

Notability

Before drafting this I did carefully consider Wikipedia:Notability (music). The article contains references to a number of pieces of non-trivial independent media coverage, moreover, the group includes three independently notable musicians Anthony Drennan, Mick O'Brien and Brian Dunning.

COI

I had moved this to the mainspace over two months back. It was moved back to drafts by Onel5969 citing possible conflict of interest. In the interests of absolute clarity, I am a partner in a large law firm where Paul Egan was a partner, he has since retired from the partnership but continues as of counsel. I also, at one point worked in the stage lighting business. I have probably been paid for working on gigs or shows involving a large percentage of the musicians active in Ireland between about 1980 and 1992 and am fairly friendly with a number of them. The last piece of paid stage lighting work that I did was in 1994. Since Paul Egan is no longer a partner in the firm, I did not feel that applying common sense, there was an external relationship sufficiently close to create a conflict of interest.

For the avoidance of doubt, I was not paid for writing the article and do not believe I have ever been paid by the band, the subject of the article or any of its members. Yes, I may have had a drink or two at an album launch.

As nothing other than a possible COI was identified in the article, which I consider is well sourced, relies on secondary sources and is written from a neutral POV, I unless anybody objects, I propose to submit it for review in the next couple of days.
