Summary
Islands of Fiddlers / Oileáin na bhFidiléirí is a 2024 book described in a Donegal newspaper launch report as a study of Beaver Island’s Donegal-linked settlement, musicians, and tunes. The report identifies Glenn Hendrix and Caoimhin Mac Aoidh as authors and says the book would launch on Arranmore on 13 April 2024.1
Scope and evidence limits
The project holds a launch report, not the book. It can therefore model the title, stated authorship, launch, and publicly described scope, but it cannot verify every historical assertion, tune transcription, citation, or editorial method in the text. The report says the book contains 111 tune transcriptions associated with Patrick Bonner; that is a report of the book’s content, not a locally checked crosswalk to recording items.1
Open questions
- Acquire and catalog a lawful copy of the book, including publication details, bibliography, tune index, and permissions terms.
- Compare its 111 transcriptions against item-level recordings and catalogue notes before asserting repertoire-level relationships.
