Ursula Holden Gill

URSULA HOLDEN GILL
"Romance & Ragamuffins"
12 til 1, Sunday 17 April 2016
Todmorden Folk Festival

Golden Lion Pub
Hebden Bridge

Romance and Ragamuffins is a brand new set of autobiographical stories which Ursula can’t wait to take on the road in 2016. Celebrating the bizarre, the off-centre and the wallflower all alike, this show features her latest controversial comedy Ladies Who Live Together. Love against all odds (where the odds are truly bonkers)!

"This is a tale of light and shade, provoking us all to question our personal attitudes, honesty and acceptance. Encouraging us to welcome diversity and consider our responsibilities to ourselves and to others, the story skilfully communicates the importance of living an open life free from fear and hostility, within a framework of laughter and entertainment. It is excellent."

Age Range: Adults and Children 10+


"Tell me a fact and I'll learn. Tell me a truth and I'll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever."
