Presented by Ilbijerri Theatre Company, "Big Name, No Blankets" honours the trailblazing Warumpi Band, known for singing in Aboriginal languages and creating anthems like "Blackfella/Whitefella" and "My Island Home."
The rock 'n' roll extravaganza blends high-energy rock music with storytelling inspired by Warumpi Band's founding member Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher.
In a conversation with NITV Radio Rachael Maza, Ilbijerri Theatre Company’s Artisit Director, explained that the show was created with the Butcher family as a joyful exploration of music's power to unite and inspire hope for reconciliation.
