No Frills is the eighth album by Nik Kershaw, recorded live at his own Shorthouse Studios and released on 1 February 2010 under his own record label. Initially, the album was only available for purchase online via Kershaw's web site through his own indie vanity label, Shorthouse Records.^[1]

Kershaw regards his subsequent album Ei8ht as his eighth album as No Frills was "90 per cent old songs, it was just different acoustic versions of those old songs. I didn't really count that as a collection of original work."^[2]
