In the early 1960s, pop music promoters borrowed the "Prom" title, staging an annual Albert Hall "Pop Prom", apparently "an annual fundraising event for the Printers' Pension Corporation, promoted by the teen magazines Valentine, Marilyn and Roxy"; the 1963 "Great Pop Prom" was headlined by the Beatles [1] and the Rolling Stones. In 1969 the promoter Roy Guest organised a series of Pop Proms at the Albert Hall, featuring a range of artists from the Dubliners to Chuck Berry, the Who and Led Zeppelin; Peel hosted a concert on 2 July, with a bill of his favourites of that time; the Incredible String Band, Family and Fairport Convention

But in 1970, the "official" Proms concerts began to host popular music, in order to extend Wood's remit of reaching out to the masses who would not normally attend a concert hall, and the first of these was Soft Machine on 13 August. The Softs' audience came to listen rather than cause trouble, but the RAH became increasingly wary of pop artists after a series of incidents. JP claimed that there was a black list of musicians who were banned from performing at the Albert Hall, including the Nice, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, James Brown and others (but not Cream, whom he had introduced at the Hall in 1968).
