Hello, I'm Lauren Laverne and this is the Desert Island Discs podcast from BBC Radio 4.
Every week I ask my guests to choose the eight tracks,
book and luxury, that they 'd want to take with them if they were cast away to a desert island.
For rights reasons, the music's shorter than on the original broadcast,
but you can find a version with longer music tracks on BBC Sounds.
Listeners will also get access to episodes 28 days earlier than everyone else.
I hope you enjoy listening.
My cast away this week is the actor and singer Jessie Buckley.
She first came to public attention singing on a BBC talent show when she was just 17.
She didn't win, but its title proved prophetic.
She went from I 'd do anything to being a performer who really can,
widely regarded as one of the most versatile actors of her generation.
In addition to her Olivier Award and a place on the Mercury Prize shortlist, she recently won a Golden Globe.
And a BAFTA for her starring role in Hamnet.
Her critically acclaimed performance as Shakespeare's wife Agnes has also secured her an Oscar nomination, her second.
Growing up in County Kerry, creativity was her family's first language.
Her father wrote poetry and her mother was a singer and harpist.
Watching her ability to move people to tears made Jessie want to get up on stage too,
though she never dreamed it would take her quite this far.
She says, I've had amazing moments in my life.
