See current films by Myles O'Reilly on / mylesoreilly Radie Peat performs My Bonny Boy live for the acclaimed Irish music program This Ain't No Disco. thisaintnodisco.ie/
What I enjoy too is the loose goofing around while setting up for the song and then once the picking starts that song is locked on, committed to and seriously in play until the very end
If you haven't already you should check out her singing "Dark Horse" and "Hares on the Mountain" they are both on youtube. Well worth a look if you like this.
You should listen to Lankum, the band Radie plays with, and especially the following songs The Young People, Hunting The Wren, The Granite Gazie and What Will Do When We Have No Money.
Since I first heard this I need to listen to it every now and then. It brings me to tears almost every time. This performance is my priest and my therapist. I hope you read this
How can she be this good What kind of spirit Could give forth Such Beauty Language falls Short in trying To describe her singing It's the pure emotion of love You can see it on her face in her eyes God's hand is exposed in her laments
This band and Daniel Norgren's have a very special effect on me, I feel a rare combination of skill, love, depth, and beauty in both, like sth that somehow assembled itself in the present from elements that should have been depleted long ago, yet still somehow survived to this very day.
Myles you are doing more for trad than anyone I know. Your productions are fantastic. Your film making is second to none.Please keep up the good work!!!👍
Lyrics I once loved a boy, and a bonny, bonny boy And I loved him, I will vow and protest I loved him so well, and so very, very well That I built him a bower on my breast I built him a bower on my breast Well, it's up the long alley and down the green valley Like one that was troubled in mind I hollered and I whooped and I played upon my flute But no bonny boy could I find But no bonny boy could I find I sat myself down on a green mossy bank Where the sun it shone wonderful warm And who should I spy but my own bonny boy Fast locked in some other girl's arms Fast locked in some other girl's arms Now, the girl who's the joy of my own bonny boy Let her make of him all that she can And whether he loves me or whether he don't I'll walk with that boy now and then I'll walk with that boy now and then.
I feel an inexplicable urge to return back to this particular recording of this particular song again and again. It makes me experience the phrase 'it resonates with me' on a whole new level as this song literally creates resonance and movement inside my chest. I deeply love many different live recordings of many different songs, but none has ever moved me in a similar manner. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in creating this video and decided to put it out there for anyone to access ✨
I know what you mean. Radie Peat's version is magnificent, and I listen to it frequently, but I listen to Anne Briggs' version too, plus others as well. My Bonny Boy is the most haunting of songs. Little wonder it's part of Vaughan Williams' Folk song Suite.
When I were but a callow youth I loved Shirley and Dolly Collins doing this. Radie's take is equally wonderful. Lankum is the best traditional for a very long time.
Radie is a way better singer than shirlely collins.... shirly collins had the best tone, but was relatively simple and basic(though gorgeous) in her phrasing and interpretation.. radie peat is like an Irish "june tabor" in her dark and intricate ornamentation and dynamics... only with the big and ringing sound of a "sandy denny" or "shirly collins" !!!
@@michaeligoe3935 as an overall artist, absolutely... no one else had her "complete package" mix of tone, emotionality, keen instrumental sensibilities and powerful way with words. Purely as a vocalist she had equals, but as an artist she was the undisputed soul of england and the queen of folk-rock ...
From the first time I heard this song, I have been utterly mesmerised and awe struck by Radie's old worldly, witchy vibe. The atmosphere is beautiful in this clip too - the warmth of both the Roly poly banter and the crackling fire. I am learning this song, deeply listening and acquainting myself with it as best I can... The lilt she does in the first stanza for the word 'protest' at 1:12 has got me 😅 can't do it for the life of me... Such a magical piece of music performance and capturing of it here 🙏🏼❤️
I have tried looking for the chords, I don't suppose you know where I can find them. the ones on Chordify make no sense to me as I think she uses a capo on the 6th ?
thank you radie peat for re-igniting lost hope that i might yet find a music partner with a voice untainted by pop music and a humble respect for song and tradition.. thank you myles o'reilly for helping her gifts reach those out here who need it.
I love the way she shakes her notes You can t here the seperation but once in awhile A perfect vibrato To my ear As a fellow redhead I can here that special quality in her tone That many of us in the red headed league Share
HI, I'd love to learn to play this but am having trouble finding the chords. do you know where I can find them? I usually use ultimate guitar tabs but they don't have the song.
Why are the best ones always so beautiful too they take it all from me n quicken me in return shes one a medevil maiden trapped by the rake of my past minds n fairer than all thecret
The facet that comes up in this is flats and semi tones - probably something that was a staple of music a couple of hundred years ago...so in essence this seems to be a snap shot into the past
Radie Peat -- you had me at the first strum -- no really, you had me at "There once was a boy..." But mostly it was your LUSCIOUS smile. I love your sublime smile. Never stop grinning, OK? you are gorgeous and so is your voice.
There ain’t a man alive that don’t want a woman like that. It’s the haunting lament. It’s the vocals and the lyrics. It’s someone who feels the words. It doesn’t matter who she is or what she looks like. It’s the emotion coming from the inside and spilling out. Radie feels it. She pours it out like paint and runs her fingers through it. That’s the jewel of the song! It’s not about Radie Peat. It’s about the lyrics and the emotion that comes from singing something from deep within. Notice her facial expression. She feels it. That’s what love looks like
The camera crew had been using the popular term 'Rolling' all weekend on the shoot, similar to 'Action'. Donal Dineen, our charismatic host simply re-invented the term.
@@myles.o.reilly Good Morning and Thank you. I laughed so hard when I heard it. This artist and group are amazing. I've been very drawn in since I've found you all. Live long and prosper.
hey, does anyone have any idea what tuning her guitar is in? i very highly doubt it's standard haha. i've got my capo on 6th fret in standard tuning but my fingers are twisted as fuck.
You seem to have tapped into something Radie. Your singing is like from someone older and more heart sore than your years would indicate. Have you discovered a portal?
Howrya. It's Myles here who produced this video, just thinking out loud about what you've said. Older than her years would indicate is true. Not ranting now but taking the time to ponder in text about Radie and other great folk musicians like her.. In Irish folk and traditional music, as a necessary method of teaching and preserving culture, young musicians grow up joining their elders at music sessions from a very young age. In the songs of their parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles and their friends, deeply shared emotions mostly particular to one's own community are conveyed that can never be recorded in writing. Held within these emotions are important lessons. Human lessons pertinent to their sociological conditions. The older and more experienced generation of players and singers with whom young musicians then identify with the most, naturally become mentors. Radie is once such musician who has grown up around local music sessions, listening deeply, and so making meaningful connections with the stories and the lessons locked within them. What you're hearing as "older with more heart than [her] years would indicate", is the collective feelings and emotions of all the generations that have lived, loved, laughed and cried before her, successfully having been passed down to her. She is able to communicate that history and wealth of emotion to all of us and more importantly the next generation of musicians that identify with her, so on and so forth. That's how Irish culture has survived many hundreds of years of foreign colonization, and will continue to be how Irish tradition will survive the current global commercialization of music and culture. Every country has their own ethnic traditional folk music, which every country needs to nurture and protect... ...I could go on and on about it but words fail where the experience of being present won't. Myles
@@myles.o.reilly so great to hear your perspective on the tradition and passing forward of wisdom, ancestry and culture in the music. Love that. I've a deep appreciation for the work you do too, it speaks to my heart and soul, great stuff.
@@myles.o.reilly in England though we have somewhat lost the tradition (not completely) and a lot of the music played at sessions is Irish. A scholar of music I spoke to recently laid the blame on Cromwell and his puritanical ways, outlawing pleasure and preventing the music being passed on properly for a couple of generations.
Myles O'Reilly that’s a very articulate answer and really summarises what I love about folk music, above all other genres. Congratulations on your thoughtful and impeccably executed body of work. I’m a huge fan from Chile!
I was contemplating saying something similar in response to Radie´s voice. It is as if she is a reincarnated ancestor, sent here with the purpose of preserving folk music, and reminding us all of our ancestors.
Still playing and loving this song. It reminds me of a special person. ♥
Such an uncompromising and honest voice.. Please don't ever change, you're amazing
I love her voice, it's very special. I'm waiting for a Radie album... 😞
yeah we need a solo radie album! But also more Lankum. more everyone!! :)
Amazing. God bless all gaelic people. You're the Light of the world.
This is without a doubt one of my favourite videos on the internet.
Lord I havent cried this hard in a long time.....
What I enjoy too is the loose goofing around while setting up for the song and then once the picking starts that song is locked on, committed to and seriously in play until the very end
My favourite experimental folk rock band ever, and feel truly blessed to live in this time to hear their radiant beauty
The greatest voice of this generation.
She's wonderful. Looks so sad at the end
I hit play and the whole room stopped to watch and listen. You've made some new fans in Oklahoma!
If you haven't already you should check out her singing "Dark Horse" and "Hares on the Mountain" they are both on youtube. Well worth a look if you like this.

Iontach! Go raibh mile maith agat, Liam.
Radi and Lisa O'Neill are grand.
Y'all should check out Hiraeth!
@@seamrog3593 Google translate didn't give me anything. I'll check out Hiraeth, though.
@aachucko good (wo)man
excellent- iontach
GRMMA= thanks
speechless... how well this captures the tone of a deep unrequited love
Since I first heard this I need to listen to it every now and then. It brings me to tears almost every time. This performance is my priest and my therapist. I hope you read this
big cheers from France...
Radie, you got it !!
How can she be this good
What kind of spirit
Could give forth
Such Beauty
Language falls
Short in trying
To describe her singing
It's the pure emotion of love
You can see it on her face in her eyes
God's hand is exposed in her laments
This is very beautiful .. the voice the picture the words had painted .. all very beautiful indeed..
thank you xxx

So beautiful. I love her voice and the song.
So good.
the greatest singer who's ever lived
love that song so much. Unbelievable interpretation here...
Something of Karen Dalton in Radie's voice. Lovely.
Lyrics
I once loved a boy, and a bonny, bonny boy
And I loved him, I will vow and protest
I loved him so well, and so very, very well
That I built him a bower on my breast
I built him a bower on my breast
Well, it's up the long alley and down the green valley
Like one that was troubled in mind
I hollered and I whooped and I played upon my flute
But no bonny boy could I find
But no bonny boy could I find
I sat myself down on a green mossy bank
Where the sun it shone wonderful warm
And who should I spy but my own bonny boy
Fast locked in some other girl's arms
Fast locked in some other girl's arms
Now, the girl who's the joy of my own bonny boy
Let her make of him all that she can
And whether he loves me or whether he don't
I'll walk with that boy now and then
I'll walk with that boy now and then.

She can play my flute any day

Love Radie's voice.
This girl has such a beautiful voice. I'd love to hear more from her.
Radie Peat sings in the band Lankum also
Stunning voice and she played lovely too
Class great voice
So lovely, thank you
she's good distinctive voice and she sings with passion
Just wow

The rolly polly banter is the hash they were smoking
Saw her in her band in Selby few years ago and they’re a lovely bunch as well as wonderful musicians.

So beautifully sung. Thank You
It´s Radielicious, thank you.
Much love from North Carolina !
this is truly amazing
This is stunning
As usual, the shots and editing are a triumph....
Pure magic!
That is very nice. The Voice is beautiful. Thanks !🎸🇩🇪⚡️
Much Love 💕
Wow. This is ✨
Radie Peat is likely the most beautiful name I've ever heard.
Best singer too
Pronounced Ray dee
@@artomarto679 it is indeed. Why what did I say? ;)
@@Kloppsserialbottlers what's Radie short for?
@@artomarto679 I don't think it's short for anything, I think that's her full name first name
beautiful
This is so so mysterious and pretty
The best voice to appear since Melanie Safka. You are unique Radie and your voice gives me goose pimples.
Haunting
thank you radie peat for re-igniting lost hope that i might yet find a music partner with a voice untainted by pop music and a humble respect for song and tradition..
thank you myles o'reilly for helping her gifts reach those out here who need it.

I love the way she shakes her notes
You can t here the seperation but once in awhile
A perfect vibrato
To my ear
As a fellow redhead
I can here that special quality in her tone
That many of us in the red headed league
Share
Divine....
I would crawl over glass to hear you sing.
lol
Haunting yet beautiful, if you know what I mean.
thanks

That's not Irish music 😂 hear her sing with Katie Kim and Ellie from percolator last week was probably the best Irish performance in the last 30yrs
