On this Island is an intricate weaving together of Ursula’s favourite Celtic Folk Tales, Lancashire & West Yorkshire so called ‘Witch’ Heritage, songs, clogging, and her own award winning Contemporary Stories. The set further features some of Ursula’s own Songs from the Stories which she recorded on Homespun Records in 2013. The Handless Maiden’s Daughter is currently available via Bandcamp. On this Island was first toured by Dream On Productions to Columbian Secondary Schools in 2014, to China in 2018 & has since proved extremely popular with young adult audiences throughout Europe.

Ursula is a dynamic and engaging storyteller. She brilliantly uses the skills of the fireside teller and the urban myth maker to address much bigger issues. Nonetheless her high energy performances are always hugely entertaining. Ursula is a warm hearted tornado blowing fresh themes and new insights through the always exciting world of storytelling.
