Going underground: What lurks in Whelan's cellar...

Don’t leave us in there alone.

WHELAN’S CELEBRATES 25 years in action this year, so we decided to find out what goes on behind the scenes at the famous pub.

We found out about the bands, backstage banter and live show secrets, but we also took a look down in the cellar.

Dave Allen, bookings manager at the pub, assures us that this cellar isn’t haunted – but we don’t fancy being left in here alone.
