Radie Peat is a singer and multi-instrumentalist best known for her work with the Irish folk band Lankum. She grew up in Dublin and performed in pubs at a young age, singing and playing concertina (she also plays tin whistle, accordion, harmonium, banjo and harp, among other instruments). With Lankum, Peat has recorded four albums including this year’s False Lankum, which was nominated for the Mercury prize. She’s also part of a new four-piece, ØXN, whose album CYRM – “a debut full of unsettling dark magic”, according to the Guardian – is out now on Claddagh Records. Lankum are on tour and will play London’s Roundhouse on 13 December.
