Llanelli all girl band ‘Initial Reply’ have been nominated by Labour MP for Llanelli and Shadow Wales Minister Nia Griffith to take part in the prestigious ‘Rock the House’ competition to celebrate the brightest and best unsigned musicians in the UK.

The winners will also get the chance to play a live set on the Terrace of the House of Commons on 26th June 2013.
