Biography

Bronagh Gallagher, a talented Irish-born singer and actress, was born in 1972 in Northern Ireland. She discovered her passion for the performing arts during her teenage years, exploring both music and drama. This led her to join a local amateur drama group, the Oakgrove Theatre Company, where she honed her skills.

Bronagh made her screen debut in 1989, initially appearing in television series. Her breakthrough role came in 1991 with Alan Parker's film, The Commitments, followed by a notable appearance in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction in 1994. Three years later, she starred in George Lucas's prequel, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, in 1999.

As the 21st century unfolded, Bronagh's career balanced equally between television and film. Her film credits include Tristan + Isolde in 2006 and Sherlock Holmes in 2009. On television, she appeared in Holby City in 1999, The Bill in 1984, The Field of Blood in 2011, and Pramface in 2012.

In addition to her acting pursuits, Bronagh remains an active singer and musician.
