About Judy Australia 1964

Judy Australia 1964 is an original Skunkworks Community production that transports audiences to one of the most electrifying chapters in Australian cultural history. Set against the backdrop of a nation on the cusp of change, the show captures the energy, colour, and spirit of 1964 Australia through the power of live brass band performance.

Drawing on the music, stories, and social fabric of the era, Judy Australia 1964 is a love letter to a time when community bands were at the heart of Australian life — and a reminder of how much music can say about who we are and where we come from.

Created by Bill Farr with arrangements by Steve Semmler-Farr, this production brings together community musicians, vivid theatrical staging, and music that is uniquely, unmistakably Australian.
