The Basta! youth collective

Welcome

You've arrived at the homepage of the newest of the collectives... BASTA!
Feel free to look around and find out exactly what the collective aims to do as well as heaps more info!

The beginning... of something

Dylan Haskins, Lyndsay Copeland and Conor Lumsden have formed the Basta! youth collective, a newly founded organization to start a better future and support DIY media in their local areas of Wicklow and south Dublin.

Dylan has been organizng all sorts of events for ages now, including gigs, political protests, stencil art jams and more. He's 17 and lives in Wicklow Town.

Lyndsay is the gig person you could say, holding gigs very frequently for the last I'd say 18 months or more. She always has put on gigs in Greystones, including recently hosting american rockabilliers, The can kickers!!

Finally, Conor, from Shankill is the bassist in local punk band the spungos. His friendlieness and enthusiasm shows you don't have to be all psuedo intellectual to make a difference, this kids an example of that fact!

Togehter, the three can and have worked and done great things. So far there have been a good few gigs, all of which hosted great bands and were enjoying for all!

Helping out!

Although Basta! is only currently being put together, and don't need new members at this time, if you would like to contribute in any way please do, as it's totally DIY and non-profit and therefore cannot rely on anything but support from others!

Only the start!

Right now, it's just about getting everything sorted, and of course fundraising gigs... but in time loads more is going to happen within the BYC... firstly, people will be able to join and fight in the struggle for a better future, and secondly there may be a library opening soon, with radical books on the zapatista movement and other revolutionary literature!


Thanks again!

Thanks for visiting, and make sure to tell others about ther site, and of course, why not do something, youself to make a change. Don't rely on anyone else, DIY is dedication!!
