"A Few Tunes of Good Music," by Reg Hall, documents an HMV recording studio session in London, in 1938, as part of an artist discography. The song "My Bonny Irish Boy" was recorded by Máire Ní Scolaí, accompanied by pianist Duncan Morrison, on 20 August 1938. The session included another English-language song, John Todhunter's "Aghadoe," and it is possible that the two were published as the A and B sides of a 78 RPM single by HMV.

I know of no re-issue of this 1938 recording; when Gael-Linn compiled a long-playing vinyl record of Ní Scolaí's performances, this song was omitted.
