Music teacher releases album

Woy Woy School of Music teacher Cat Cork has released his new album titled Feet in the Dirt.

The album, which features lyrics dealing with depression, hopelessness and bittersweet moments of happiness, is now available online.

Mr Cork previously worked as a lawyer and often helped people who were facing bankruptcy and the loss of their home or business.

He retired from practice 18 months ago and relocated to the Central Coast.

"The Woy Woy School of Music has been incredibly supportive to me," Mr Cork said.

"There is a real sense of community spirit there."

For each copy sold, $1 will be donated to Street Smart Australia.

Street Smart Australia raises funds and awareness for grass roots projects which support the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.

"Street Smart uses 100 per cent of donations to support community projects that are unable to raise funding themselves," Mr Cork said.

"For example, a women's refuge needed a washing machine to provide clean linen.

"The volunteers at the refuge weren't able to raise the necessary funds so Street Smart stepped in.

"I am very impressed with the direct and sensible approach taken by Street Smart and am proud to do what I can to support them."
