Recycling scrap metal with imagination and a MIG welder, Gavin Darby of Frailloop creates metal sculpture designed mainly for the garden and other outside locations. Garden gates, business signs, office focal points and of course the unique garden animals and flowers have all come out of the Nottinghamshire based Frailloop workshop.
Gavin was interviewed on Nottingham Radio - Download and listen to the whole interview (10MB mp3 file)

Over the last few years Frailloop has been collaborating with other artists and this time Frailloop's recycled metal sculpture was the magical backdrop for the band Mas y mas. They played at the Art Organisation and filmed a DVD. Rikki of Mas y mas said of the stage set "Thanks again - it made the show." Please check out their website at www.masymas.co.u
