Weak delete. Well, I found a bio from his publisher that asserts that he is indeed a FRCO (
[1]), but that is not a very good source. He may meet
WP:COMPOSER as I found a few reviews of his delightfully named Various Trouts, but they are not especially substantial reviews. If someone finds a good source for the FRCO claim, I'd say that meets
WP:ANYBIO or would confer notability analogously to membership in other royal societies for
WP:NPROF #3 purposes, but in the absence of a good source I end up on the "delete" side of things. Note to others: I only found search results by searching for Sefton Cottom; using his first two names in addition is not fruitful.

FRCOs are not elected as academics are to the academies, they just have to pass an exam, per
[2]. This is certainly not ANYBIO (obviously not "well-known and significant"!) and not analogous to being an accomplished professor/researcher.

I did that search and it's just mirrors and passing mentions. Can you please specify which of these results is significant coverage for GNG? I can't tell which of these six criteria he's supposed to meet – have his compositions won awards or been used in other places for them to be notable? Various Trouts doesn't have anything written about it in search results.
