Description
Gareth Wilson has spent his entire life either on stage or behind the scenes of South African music. From starting a band with his brother to eventually working with artist like Emtee as A&R for Virgin Music South Africa, Gareth shares a winding tale that has seen him take on almost every role available in the music industry. We hear about his booking philosophy for Oppikoppi, the good, the bad, and the ugly of owning and running Good Luck Bar, and we get into what it takes to make it as a musician in the social media age.
