Rock the House 2012
Therese Coffey MP is supporting 'Rock The House', a national music competition in search of talented new artists and venues from across the UK. It has been set up by Mike Weatherley MP who is champion for the music industry.
Therese Coffey said 'Rock The House' is a music competition with a political twist; supporting unsigned bands and artists, it will raise political awareness of the importance of music and other creative businesses to the UK."
Both culturally and economically, music is hugely important to this country. The purpose of developing 'Rock The House' is to put the spotlight on some very important issues within the music industry and increase political support to ensure that the UK's composers, artists and musicians can continue to dominate the world stage.
Rock The House offers entry categories covering both Live Bands and Live Music Venues - and is open for entries now.
Bands and venues are invited to enter themselves, via their local MP Therese Coffey, who will make nominations to a judging panel of music industry heavyweights.
Entries can be submitted until the closing date of 31st March 2011. Further details and the official application forms are available online at: www.rockthehouse2012.com and winners will be announced by the end of May and all competition finalists will be invited to attend an exclusive star-studded event on the Terrace of the House of Commons on 30th June.
