Peel's early programmes for Radio 1 drew enthusiastic listener response, and attracted the attention of a few Rado 3 producers (notably the poet George Macbeth), who were keen to attract a younger, "intelligent", non-classical music audience to the station. Peel was seen as a key figure in this undertaking. Radio 3's head of music Hans Keller appeared on Night Ride in early 1969, along with two musicians who also presented programmes on the station, David Munrow (whose series for children, Pied Piper, sometimes included pop music tracks) and Christopher Hogwood. After the demise of Night Ride, Radio 3 broadcast occasional programmes of poetry and folk, often produced by George Macbeth and including artists who had appeared on Night Ride and Top Gear, such as Al Stewart and Lindisfarne.
