Biography

Nick Radford is a musician & illustrator based in Cornwall, UK. He has worked under the name Frootful as an illustrator since 2004, releasing a couple of albums plus a few singles on Freestyle Records from 2011-2013 under the same name. The signing to Freestyle came about when Lack Of Afro, then on the same label, produced his first album - Nick played guitar on the first few Lack Of Afro albums & toured with the live band. Before this he had recorded and performed with The Ambassadors of Sorrow & longtime collaborator & co-writer, Angeline Morrison, also playing on her 2013 solo record on Freestyle, Are You Ready Cat? The debut Frootful LP, Colours was a Jazz FM album of the week. Kryzysztof Oktalski of Stonephace lent his mixing chops to the 2nd album, Heavyweight. 
 In 2013 Nick & Angeline signed with Ubiquity Records as The Mighty Sceptres, working with Chris Pedley of The Baker Brothers (the original lineup of which featured as session players) & Ben Lamdin of Nostalgia 77 to produce the LP. The last single was a remix by Kenny Dope of Shy as a Butterfly in 2016. 
 Tracks have received support from BBC6 Music, FIP Radio, Jazz FM, KCRW & Wax Poetics, plus appearances on the hit film Magic Mike, cult US TV show Ray Donovan, & Netflix series Atypical. The music showcases a love of 50s & 60s soul, R'n'B & jazz. Nick still works as an illustrator, occasionally performing live, or playing sets of original 45s at the Soul Cookin’ nights he runs with record collector friends.
