It's a groovy kind of love for couple at record shop

BACK in the summer, two of Cardiff's longstanding music shops faced closure after their owners chose to retire after decades.

While D’Vinyl on Mackintosh Place closed its doors after 30 years, The Record Shop, also in Roath on nearby Inverness Place, was bought by anew owner - Jason Garrow.

Canadian-born Jason’s life led him to Cardiff where he took over the record store after meeting and falling in love with a Welsh woman.

The 51-year-old met his now-wife, Jayne, 50 while they were both attending a festival in Las Vegas in 2014.

While it was Jayne's first time visiting the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, Jason attended the 1950s-inspired festival yearly.

The pair met at the festival and kept in touch although Jayne lived in Bridgend and Jason lived in Alberta, Canada.
