- Club Arthur, a new addition to the beat club scene in Dublin City Centre.
Club Arthur has been open for six months and is one of 100 beat clubs that have sprung up around Dublin since the early Sixties. The clubs often operating from cellars in buildings around the city centre, offer a relatively cheap membership and entry policy. Beat clubs can make up to £1000 a week, although running costs are growing higher.
The success of the beat clubs has also attracted the interest of the police who visit frequently seeking evidence of drug taking and sexual misconduct. The clubs have even been denounced from the pulpit with one priest condemning them as;
"Dens of iniquity"
Michael Ryan a band member and a director of Club Arthur believes it is the location of beat clubs in cellars, rather than in the suburbs like the nicer rugby clubs, that has caused older people to be suspicious.
Older people are squares
Ryan has invited parents and the press to come to his club to experience first-hand what goes on there but his offer has not been taken up in great numbers. He is adamant the clubs are not evil, dangerous places.
The band playing at Club Arthur in this report is Aesop’s Fables.
Those who attend beat clubs do so primarily because of the music, but also because they can wear the clothes they like in surroundings complimentary to their clothes. Boasting an exciting and carefree atmosphere, these clubs are different from the usual dance halls.
It’s amazing the difference it makes when you have a good group, the way you feel.
This episode of ‘Newsbeat’ was broadcast on 30 September 1966. The reporter is Cathal O’Shannon.

The beards on the young men and the music is more reminiscent of the New York 1950s beat generation of Jack Kerouac. Great video.
Nightclub for Dublin City that is where all the crazy cats went back in the day, they look to be much more than some of the discos I was forced to attend as a young fellow before I broke free and went to see brilliant bands play like Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher other greats
3:34 That readout display was good tech for '66
“Where all the beautiful people go “
I believe the guy being interviewed is Michael Ryan. He seems like a decent sort of guy. I wonder what happened with him after this time..If he is still alive he could be in his late eighties. Cathal O Shannon passed away in 2011 at 83.
The slippery slope of degradation demoralization that has plagued our island attempting to erase our most ancient and glorious culture, but the multi millennial fall of the Irish empire has thankfully come to its end…Ireland will once again rise up to be the land of saints and scholars…
Your culture was destroyed with the advent of the desert religion. Get back to your own Gods.

They had really weird lighting in the place that made anything white luminous
It is so touching and sad how innocent people used to be. At least on the surface.
Oh don't worry Anna,there was plenty Mickeywork going on after the dance even at that time.
Unlike the genius`s of the Z generation!
You couldnt hear a fly pissing with the rattling of rosary beads.
