Unplugged for the Floods

An Unplugged for the Floods benefit concert will be held Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club for the on Saturday, March 26.

"The images of devastation we witnessed during the floods and cyclone Yasi were so overwhelming that we wanted some way for our local community to help out," said Central Coast Lifesaver of the Year Ms Katie Dixon.

"The concert is an opportunity to do that especially since most of us can't jump on the next flight to Queensland and help physically," she said.

Together with Gosford Council Volunteer of the Year Mr Aaron Camp, Ms Dixon has arranged a line-up of some of the Central Coast's best up-and-coming talents.

The concert will be headlined by local country music singer Ms Ashley Knight who was Winner of the Tamworth Country Music Awards battle of the young stars.

"I am thrilled to be involved with such a great cause,' said Ms Knight.

Other performers on the night will include local indie punk band Sky Squadron and local singer songwriter Bryce Sainty.

Tickets for the concert will be on sale at the door for $5 or $15 dollars for a family.

All proceeds will be donated to the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal.
