Film of Pilton Festival 1982 with added Ian Thomas content and soundtrack

This is the Super8 film, taken by the late Clifford Davies in 1982, of the very first Pilton Festival in Barnstaple, North Devon in the United Kingdom. In 2012 it had a new soundtrack – words and music – added by Ian Thomas, involved in the Festival organisation and Deputy Head at Pilton Bluecoat School at that time. About 4 minutes of material from Ian Thomas has been added at the end. This includes footage of The Horse and Bamboo Curlicues of Easter 1987.

Thanks to Ian Thomas for this new version. A short version of the original film is already on The Pilton Story archive at:
