  • Steven Cook (Applestump Records)

    Co-owner of Applestump Records, an independent record shop in Nantwich, Cheshire.

    Founded in 2021, Applestump Records was born out of lockdown boredom. As we couldn’t indulge in our hobby of visiting record shops we decided to try and bring the record shop to us. That was three years ago and today the business is very much part of the Nantwich community.

    Steve runs the retail side of Applestump Records. We stock a wide range of new records and pride ourselves on having all the key new releases as well as championing new bands and artists. Alongside the day job, he is also the host of Like Clockwork, Cat Radio’s weekly alternative music show and is also behind Applestump Sessions, a weekly YouTube series of single mic recordings with local bands and artists.
