Big Name, No Blankets celebrates the phenomenal journey and impact of Australian music icons Warumpi Band in an epic rock musical. Known for their anthems Blackfella/Whitefella, My Island Home and Jailanguru Pakaruni, this extraordinary story is inspired by Warumpi Band’s rise to the top through their politics, presence and potent rock ‘n’ roll riffs.

Founding band member Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher (deftly played by Baykali Ganambarr) is our characteristic narrator of an adventure which weaves intimate storytelling with the band’s unforgettable song-list of 80’s hits. Discover how Sammy (lead guitar) and his two younger brothers, Gordon (drummer) and Brian (bass), went from jamming on a flour drum in Papunya in the 1970s to wild nights of pub rock and touring the world.

You’re invited into the world of these Central Desert legends. Stomp your feet, clap your hands and get swept away by this big-hearted, joyous story.
