On the Big Brekky Show we have Darwin based singer/songwriter Tracey Bunn. A Summer Dress of Green was released last Friday just in time for St Patrick's Day today, and was produced with the help of the incredible musicians, Richard Grace, Vincent Perry, Lewis Parsons, Louie Boyle-Bryant and the gobsmackingly talented Gleny Rae. The single is a rollicking Pogues meets Bushwackers tale of daylight robbery, where a hapless gambler surrenders more than just their hard earnings.

Monkey Marc and Kim Williamson spoke with the Big Brekky Show about the Crown and Country singing project from the remote central desert community of Lajamanu.  At the heart of Crown and Country is the voice of the prolific Warlpiri philosopher, teacher and artist, Wanta Jampijinpa Pawu-Kurlpurlurnu and he joins his father Jerry Jangala Patrick OAM, one of the most important Warlpiri songmen alive today, whose traditional singing at ~90 years grounds the work in Warlpiri ceremonial song. 

Alongside contemporary compositions by Marc ‘Monkey’ Peckham, Crown and Country translates their deep intergenerational cultural knowledge into immersive music and film, where Wanta Jampijinpa invites you into a desert journey through the Warlpiri universe to gain a deeper understanding of belonging, connection, and responsibility to Country.
