Barry Saunders and Jackie Bristow

The Alexandra Blossom Festival is stoked to announce Kiwi musicians Barry Saunders and Jackie Bristow for 2025.

Saunders is well known as lead singer and songwriter of The Warratahs, a much-loved band whose soundtrack is embedded into life in New Zealand for the past four decades. He has also had a distinguished solo career.

Mr Heaphy

Mr Wozowski

Juggler. Magician. Clown. All these words could be used to describe Mr Wizowski, but none of them really convey the delightful charm of this eccentric performer. You never know what he will pull out of his case of tricks next, but you can rest assured it will put a smile on your face.

Mr Wizowski is a comedic character from Michael Armstrong who has performed around the world at festivals including The Edinburgh Fringe, Gwanju Fringe and The World Buskers Festival. He originally studied Circus at Circoarts before touring the country with Circus Aotearoa.
