The Proms have long held a place in the heart of the British public as a celebration of all that is great about tradition in the UK. In more recent times the strings have shared the season with The Street as the experience has evolved to meet modern times. This year, the Roundhouse took the unprecedented step of extending the brief to include up-and-coming artists from a host of fresh genres. By the time the masses filled into the night there was no doubt the festival had been a success.

What the people say...
