Rock the House 2012 Launched

19/1/2012

Following the success of last year’s competition, January 18th saw the launch of Rock the House 2012.  I am inviting solo artists, bands and music venues from Lewisham Deptford to enter and be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes.

The competition was founded by Mike Weatherley MP, with the joint aims of supporting the UK’s live music sector and raising the profile of issues surrounding intellectual property rights.  Its patrons include rock legends Alice Cooper and Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan.

Prizes on offer include music equipment, a chance to play at a high profile music festival and the opportunity to mix with the great and the good of the music industry. 


Successful nominees from each constituency will go forward to the national competition, to be judged by a panel of international music experts.  A short list of finalists will then be invited to take part in a Battle of the Bands on May 30th.  The winner from each category will go on to perform at a reception on the Terrace at the House of Commons that evening.

Musicians and live music venues can find further information at www.rockthehouse2012.com.

There is a wealth of live music talent in Lewisham Deptford, and I would urge all aspiring musicians and live music venues to fill in an application and send it to me.  The recognition and contacts entrants can gain from taking part in Rock the House is priceless and it would be great to put the constituency on the map for its musical talent.   

All entries should be sent to Dame Joan Ruddock MP’s office by 16th March 2012.  Entries will be accepted by email (joan.ruddock.mp@parliament.uk) or post (Dame Joan Ruddock MP, House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA).
