Legends perform at Splashy

SPLASHY Fenners can look forward to yet another historical performance at this year’s Splashy Fen Music Festival, as the Legends of the Fen showcase is set to entertain and excite the crowds with its diverse, crowd-pleasing and famous line-up.

The showcase, starting at 12pm on Sunday, 21 April, will open with a solo set from the legendary and mercurial Jack Mantis. He will be followed by Legend in the Making, a new feature that celebrates younger, greener artists on the rise. This year, the exceptionally talented Rorke will entertain the crowds with his wizard guitar skills and song writing abilities.

Needing no introduction, Roly Struckmeyer and his three-piece band will take to the stage, followed by the ubiquitous and fabulous Hairy Legged Lentil Eaters who have become something of an institution at Splashy Fen – with their quirky act and wonderful music, loved by all.

After the hairy boys, The Meditators – an amazing reggae band from Durban who are fast growing their enormous reputation with a mesmerizing brand of roots reggae – will take to the stage, and finally, the coup de gras, PJ Powers will perform. More than a legend on the stage, PJ is a monumental South African icon who stands alongside the stalwarts like Mango Groove and Johnny Clegg.

The 30th edition of the Splashy Fen Music Festival takes place over the Easter long-weekend from Thursday, 18 April to Monday, 22 April. Purchase tickets online at www.splashyfen.co.za for R890 per person for the full four-day festival, and day passes will be sold at the gates throughout the duration of the festival.
