Whiskers is an independent grass-roots live-music bar at 7 Gover Lane in central Newquay (TR7 1ER), Cornwall — billed as 'the beating heart of live music in Newquay'. It puts on live bands and DJs through the week, from original local acts to tribute shows such as a Fleetwood Mac night, and is notable for handing 100% of ticket proceeds straight to the artists. Doors run 7pm to 1am on its gig nights (typically Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday), serving cold beers, local ales and cider alongside the music. Bands and promoters reach the team via TheWhiskersMusicTeam@gmail.com.
