Matt Olivier, along with his brother Luke, owns The Winston Pub, a legendary Durban music venue that has stood the test of time. Matt and his brother took over “The Pub”, as it’s affectionately called, 6-and-a-half years ago. It’s been a roller coaster ride for them ever since. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to run The Winston, well, you’re about to find out. Matt and I dive into the trials and tribulations of living the dream of owning a music venue. Not only that, but we find how everything in Matt’s life lead him down this path. From being in bands from a young age and studying sound engineering to starting an events company and buying a sound and lighting rig, it’s all culminated in one day owning The Winston Pub.
We take a trip down memory lane and get nostalgic about Durban’s musical past whilst also looking to the future of The Winston Pub. Enjoy.
