Esther McCarthy: Jessie Buckley's talent is now being seen on the world stage 

Nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA, psych-horror film The Lost Daughter has brought Buckley’s talent and charisma to the world stage

Jessie Buckley attends "The Lost Daughter" UK Premiere during the 65th BFI London Film Festival at The Royal Festival Hall on October 13, 2021 in London, England.

Jessie Buckley’s creativity was fostered in the family home near Killarney’s Mangerton Mountain, where father Tim would regale the family with his poetry and stories.

Mum Marina Cassidy, a singer and harpist, first instilled in her young daughter the sheer power of a story or a song.
