- Desmond Leslie has set up a nightclub and restaurant on the grounds of the Castle Leslie Estate.
Desmond Leslie describes his varied career which includes a spell in the Royal Air Force (RAF), writing novels, a work on flying saucers, making films and being an electronic music pioneer. He is now a farmer and a nightclub owner.
Upon taking over the running of Castle Leslie three years ago, with his father’s blessing, Desmond Leslie turned the estate manager’s house into a country club complete with discotheque and restaurant. This is the beginning of a bigger project and he plans to renovate 12 rooms, turn the stable court into a holiday lodge and have water skiing and sailing on the lake.
Ultimately Castle Leslie would become a sanctuary for people to get away from it all and unwind. He is confident the club will give a much needed boost to the region as,
This is a depressed area and I’m doing my best to un-depress it with a bit of fun.
Visitors to the club have come from as far away as San Francisco. Among those enjoying the nightlife on this occasion is an English lecturer from Trinity College Dublin and a philosophy and psychology student wearing the latest trends from the King’s Road in London.
This episode of ‘Discovery’ was broadcast on 17 November 1966. The reporter is Bruce Arnold. - Розваги
The Leslie family are quite the characters. His brother Sir Jack Leslie(1916-2016) appears in a segment of “Lords and Ladles” raucously playing the piano at age 99. He passed soon after.
The quality of the recording is good for its age.
Another nice video
The Leslies are stone mad. Still are.
This is great footage of 1960s nightlife at Castle Leslie. It is a magnificent place to visit and stay today!
Battle of who has the most stately pompous English accent there at the beginning
This man was ahead of the curve back in the the good old daze!
The guy at the start is Sean Leslie's son & grandfather to the 6th Earl of Whimbum
"Me, at 2am in the local all girls boarding school with my reputation?"
He also built a space suit & swam to the moon, wrestled a Trex, found the cure for cancer & the meaning of life while at a Hollywood swingers party with Burt Reynolds, but got really drunk for 6 weeks straight & forgot them both. To name but a few things he's done.
Seriously, what an incredible life to live!
There's something depressing about this.
Jp Donleavy portraited this section of Irish in a very humourous way !
Let the man speak will you
Did I see Dr John Carragher in the dancing part? I would have only been 1 at the time, but he seems like a younger version of the doctor that I knew.
Yes, I recognise Dr Jack Carragher too.
Gave Bernard Levin a good clout.

Waking up in the village...more like not getting to sleep
04:45 The Marquis of Headfort??
Some party there
If you notice there was know villagers there, probably wouldn't be allowed in
Noticed that too. All attendees appear to be very 'well to do'. Commoners not welcome.
The sexual revolution. Looks a little crazy now.
