This article is woolly in the extreme.

A small number of honorary fellowships are awarded each year to those who are considered to have made an outstanding contribution to the world of music or the arts.
To whom? Who are the present holders and where and when did they receive their awards?

The BBC journalist Raphael Rowe, who was one of the M25 Three, has recently accepted an invitation to join the College's Advisory Council. It was felt that his presence would help to enable young people of all socio-economic backgrounds and creeds to realise their musical and artistic potential.
Exactly how does a non-musician acheive this?

Recently an initiative has taken place in Birmingham, which offers opportunities for young people from less affluent areas in speech and drama.
What initiative?

Where are the examination centres, and who are the examiners? How many people hold Associate and Licentiate diplomas?
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that deals in facts. At present this article reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry as it contains not a single verifiable fact, and the only link is to the college's own site. ♦ Jongleur¹⁰⁰ ♦ ^talk 09:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've deleted all the promotional text and provided a couple of references, although one of these is the NCM's own website. This really needs attention from someone with knowledge of this organisation's importance or otherwise. The original editor seems to have been a SPA who is long gone.--Plad2 (talk) 17:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
