This programme represents a significant period in the history of the Marquee club that had moved from Oxford Street to 90 Wardour Street three years earlier in 1964. By this time the club had become the most important music venue in London for emerging rock and jazz bands. The programmes bear witness to the club's role in 'discovering' a number of artists and bands such as Jimi Hendrix, Cream and The Nice. The music festival referred to on the programme was a forerunner of the Reading Festival. The Marquee organised their first jazz festival in 1961. Throughout the 1960s the venue of the annual event changed eventually finding a permanent home in Reading in 1971, where it is still held today.
