THE 20th Splashy Fen came and went in a drum-beat and proved to be one of the best ones yet. The crowd of festival goers ranged from metal-studded Goths to colourfully-clad hippies, whose Splashy spirits remained high whether they were jiving to a great South African band or chilling down by the riverside.
