Tapestry Goes West …A memory of a festival ….chronicles the humble beginnings of one man's obsession with rock 'n' roll and the free world,and  what happened when his monthly club ,with its colourful habitués decamped to a Wild West town in Cornwall for three days.

 The film captures early performances from bands such as Daisy, Kitty & Lewis and The Magic Numbers and features Sheriff JB and his legendary wild west show at the Spirit of the West town at Winnards Perch. A place that has since been abandoned, the Gunslingers long gone ….
