Picture Of Myself

Product of a musical family and sister of Rita, her pedigree is quite flawless, but this is Ursula Connolly’s first solo outing on disc and all things considered, it’s quite an assured calling card.

These are all original songs, mostly written either solely by herself or in cahoots with her brother Peter, himself a musician of no mean talent.

A song like 'Eleanora Sleeps' is just begging for airplay, while ‘With This Love' takes a critical look at among other things, child abuse, its lyrics unafraid of confrontation, and of the need to ask some very hard questions about the way we conduct ourselves.

Ursula Connolly has painted a very interesting, comprehensive picture of a woman who is ventilating a plethora of emotions and questions.

Musically, the results are engaging and drum tight, and well worth fifteen quid of anyone's money.
