Presented by: Adelaide Festival
Big Name, No Blankets cranks up the amps and plugs into the heart of Papunya (Warumpi), where for the first time, we hear the stories of the Warumpi Band through founding lead guitarist Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher's perspective.
He takes us on a journey from the band's beginnings in the 1970s when Sammy and his two younger brothers Gordon and Brian learnt music by jamming on a flour drum in Papunya, through to their wild nights conquering the Australian pub rock scene and touring the world.
You're invited into the world of these central desert legends. Stomp your feet, clap your hands and sing along as you get swept away by this big-hearted story.
1 hour, 40 minutes no interval
