This is the roaming arm of London’s Tapestry Club, travelling West and back in time. After years among the cowboys of Cornwall, last year Tapestry Goes West galloped off to pastures medieval in Wales to great acclaim. Tapestry 2007 continues where last year left off. As well as the eclectic mix of bands there will be a medieval village, mead a-plenty and jousting from Europe's premier team of brave horsemen, The Knights of Arkley. Plus a lords and Ladies football tournament organized by Neil Stilwell (ex Leyton Orient).
The Guardian calls it 'very strange and beautiful' while Emily Eavis told Time Out: 'I'd go for one of the smaller, more interesting ones like Green Man or Tapestry Goes West...'
SXP-ers who've been in previous years report an intimate and beautifully organised festival with much dressing up, drinking and fine sounds. Those interested in wassailing this August should check out the website.
