Buskers roll back into town

For three days, starting this weekend, a troupe of buskers from New Zealand and around the world will bring the streets of Orewa’s town centre to life with humour and death defying feats.

This is the seventh year that the Boulevard of Buskers Festival has been organised for the community by local business association Destination Orewa Beach.

Six acts – four solo performers and two duos –will entertain with skills such as aerial acrobatics, incredible stunts and plenty of humour.

The performers include identical twins Jola and Nele Siezen, aka the Twisty Twinz, stuntman Joel Fenton, and Martika, who presents a one-woman stunt show.

The festival is on from February 7-9, with performances taking place on Moana Reserve, and in Orewa Community Hall as well as an ‘all performer showcase’ on Saturday evening in front of Muldoons Bar.
