I'm going to start up a boozing centre, boozing only, nothing else. Nothing!
Carlow Punks! said:I think that plan for Seomra Spraoi if we ever got involved in doing night-time social things (gigs, movies, parties) would be that drugs would be out (not so much that we are anti-drugs, but its any easy tool to shut us down), no smoking, and we would discourage the promotion of the space as a predominaantly drinking-gaff. We hadn't drawn up a formal guidlines but we had agreed at meetings: no drinking cans outside, no heavy drinking culture with pissed teens asleep on the floor with their parents complaining to Joe Duffy the next morning, alot/ a majority of completely noalchohol events. People have Bohs and Porco Dio for all that

what would you know? it's my boozing centre and i'll call it what I want.oh shit said:it's called a pub
GARYXKNIFEDX said:honestly,I reckon if you were gonna do it and have all ages gigs they would have to be no alcohol. The drugs and smoking thing is a given. I just can't imagine the "outside world" understanding some people drinking a bit type of scenario. Having said that,I've had zero input and know very little of what goes on there so it's not for me to say. i'd just hate to see a few cans of beer fuck it up.
Dylan said:basta are trying to get a space in bray where we could operate a social centre and do gigs fortnightly to provide an income. We have ideas for what else we'd like to do with it (community outreach etc) but rent is so expensive. there was one space that was ideal but it was 30000 a year, the max we could afford would be 12,000.
After the Irish Times article last week the local paper (the Bray People) phoned me and asked could they do a spotlight section on Basta!. So 4 of us went down and did an interview and put a massive emphasis on needing a space with paddys hall being gone. The paper came out yesterday and aside from a few minor petty flaws they did exactly what we wanted. This was the headline "Basta! has been forced to leave St. Patricks Hall in Greystones due to Impending Re-Development". Just today we've already gotten an email from a woman offering to let us use their community hass in bray if we want.
Neighbours tend not to mind loud noise if its a) not too late and b) someone explains to them what is all about c)noone fucks with their gaf.

acoustic gigs are good but you could already have them anywhere, in a field, whatever.
and i'm pretty happy with all the stuff i'm currently doing.
but of course i hate the fact that gigs are in pubs. having to spend tons on booze, being given out to for other people drinking cans and fucking up, having to end at closing time, not technically being allowed under 18s in*, it would be great to have our own venue. to think what we could do if we had giro's in dublin. but realistically we need to think of all the obsticles in our way from the very beginning so we have figure out if its possible to get over them.
*on the subject of all ages gig, etc. i definitly agree with what dylan said about the importance of these, because there have been so few young people coming to gigs over the past few years. anyone with ideas/suggestions on how to do all ages gigs in town will have my support and potential participation.
