What is Rock The House ?
What is Rock The House ?Rock the House is a Parliamentary live music and venue competition founded by
Mike Weatherley MP. This year the prizes are much bigger and the
competitions Patrons range from rock legends Alice Cooper, Mark Hoppus, Ian
Gillan to Charlie Simpson, Matt Tuck, Rick Wakeman and Yngwie Malmsteen.
The competition celebrates the very best of up-and-coming unsigned
British artists and the live music venues that support them. The aim of the
competition is to raise the political profile of the importance of intellectual
property rights, and live music, among Parliamentarians. The UK music
industry is hugely important in terms of employment and overseas earnings.
This must be encouraged and protection of copyright is essential to the ongoing
ability to pay artists for the work they create.
