We both have had a love for music from an early age, which turned into a passion in the 1980’s, the best decade for music in our opinion!
We used to kit bag around the country following bands like Balaam and the Angel and The Mission, our passion for music never waned over the years… fast forward to 2021…. During the interim years Nicola became a florist and I spent the years working for a large retailer in charge of packaging solutions and supply chain initiatives, we came together as a couple three years ago and during Covid times had this idea about opening a shop in our current home of Bath that would combine plants and music… so Chapter 22 Roots and Records was born, we wanted it to showcase who we are as people and our passion for the music from the 80’s, especially the post punk, alternative scene.
We hope you all enjoy visiting the store, which is not just a shop but a destination, where a warm welcome always awaits.
