BOC and BNOC

Much of Radford’s later career was taken up with his stalwart appearances with the Beecham Opera Company and the British National Opera Company. Lack of space precludes a complete listing of his appearances with these companies, which undertook regular tours throughout Great Britain, performing in such cities as Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Edinburgh and major London venues like Covent Garden, Aldwych Theatre and Drury Lane. However, the following is a list of the roles Radford sang with each:

BOC (1916-1919): Sarastro, King Mark, Friar Lawrence, Osmin, Mephistopheles, Father (Louise), Boris, King Henry (Lohengrin) and Bartolo (Le Nozze di Figaro)

BNOC (1922-1929): Sarastro, King Mark, Friar Lawrence, Osmin, Mephistopheles, Father (Louise), Boris, King Henry, Bartolo, Ramfis, Pogner, Fasolt (?), Hunding, Hagen, King Dodon, Gurnemanz and Basilio (Barbiere)
