Castaway guests share the soundtrack of their lives.
Cillian Murphy played Tommy Shelby in the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, a role that brought him a huge audience and much critical acclaim. Before that he’d played Scarecrow in The Dark Knight trilogy, starting his collaboration with filmmaker Christopher Nolan, and has most recently starred in Nolan’s Oppenheimer winning a Golden Globe and receiving an Academy Award nomination. The Irish Times named him as one of the greatest Irish actors of all time.
“I remember one particular trip - we went to France on the ferry. I remember we had a Nissan Bluebird and I remember it was my mom and dad in the front, and then me and my brother and my sister in the back, and my little sister in the baby seat and also my grandmother. I have no idea...”“It's not possible or legal now, but we did it,” says a nodding Cillian.“They met in West Kerry at a session, a traditional Irish music session, and that became a kind of constant for us,” says Cillian.
“I thought I should play some traditional Irish music because it was so much part of my childhood. I should say that I rejected it all when I was a teenager and wouldn't listen to it. But now I'm starting to really appreciate it again. And this particular track my dad found this on vinyl in some second-hand shop recently and gave it to me. I put it on the turntable and it just sounds absolutely beautiful.”4.
In an interview with The Irish Examiner in 2021 the poet William Wall, Cork’s first ever Poet Laureate said of Cillian: “He did a school play. I could see he was a natural. It just jumped out at you that this guy can act. He didn't need training of any kind. And he's a lovely person as well who despite his fame has retained his affection for Ireland and Cork."
“I knew the character was so much in his head that it had to be an interior kind of performance and a small performance. I also knew in the back of my mind that he was shooting this mainly on IMAX camera so that it would be shown on an 80 foot screen so that there wasn't that much demonstrating you needed to do physically.”
The band were offered a five album deal by a London record label, but Cillian’s youthful musical ambitions were quickly curtailed: “My parents and some of the other parents just refused to allow it to happen - and they were right! I wouldn't my allow my kid, I think, at that age to sign his soul away to a corporation or a version of that.”
