Just a stone’s throw away from one of the most respected and credible live music venues in the country, and already a well-established hard drinking and music lover's meeting place, with its long standing rock 'n' roll roots, The Tap 'n' Tumbler, an apt name in itself, has also got the benefit of the perfect location and the perfect host to the M2TM heats. Having the ideal foundations with many changing guest cask ales and whiskies and an unrivalled kick ass in house PA system it is 'the' premier live music bar and ultimate rocker's paradise. Whether you are a promising or professional musician, music fan, or just a guest who prefers a proper good old fashioned honest pub, rather than a cheesy, pretentious town bar, what you see is what you get and the TNT truly delivers exactly what it says on the tin; Cask, Shots & Rock and Roll! From this point on the finalists will get to play one of Nottinghams finest venues – The Rescue Rooms!
