Life Matters - Separate Stories Podcast

Songbirds is a program of music, art and theatre taken into prisons across NSW by the Community Restorative Centre. The director, Murray Cook, is a biologist and a musician who has played with Midnight Oil, Mixed Relations and Mental as Anything, Leah Purcell and the Warumpi band, among others. Murray uses his skills as a musician and his experiences in bands to build bridges between inmates, helping them find a way to express their feelings without hurting anyone. Now, Murray also delivers this program at the Ozanam Learning Centre in Woolloomooloo in Sydney.
