As early as 2000, Vincent Greenwood was already freelancing for Gearhouse as an Audio technician “I was resident Gearhouse sound technician at Bargo’s nightclub in Greyville for 2 years, setting up all the mini concerts and DJ events using the grand old Turbosound TMS3’s and working with the likes of Rodriguez, Springbok Nude Girls and Boo,” he explains.
