The Cornish Bank is a not-for-profit grassroots music venue and community arts space in the centre of Falmouth, set inside a former bank building at 34 Church Street. It hosts gigs and community events nearly every night of the week, from band residencies and touring shows to open mic nights and folk sessions, and is the creator of the Wanderfal Festival and Summer Camp. With a cafe and bar alongside the live room, it is one of Falmouth's busiest grassroots stages.

The Night
EOMN (Electronic Open Mic Night) at The Cornish Bank is Falmouth's open mic for electronic musicians — no guitars allowed. Instead you bring your digital or analogue gear or laptop and treat the room to your bleeps, bloops and blips, with backline and a sound tech provided so producers can step out of the home studio and into the spotlight. It's free to come and listen; performers email eomnfalmouth@aol.com in advance to book a slot, or just turn up to enjoy the music in this characterful former-bank music venue.
