Summary
Caoimhin Mac Aoidh is documented in 2024 sources as a fiddler, a coauthor of Islands of Fiddlers / Oileáin na bhFidiléirí, and a scheduled performer in the 2024 Emerald Isle Irish Féile. The two sources differ only in spacing of the surname, recorded here as an alternate form.12
Evidence limits
The festival account is an advance announcement, so it documents the scheduled lineup rather than independently proving a completed performance. The book-launch report is evidence of the book and its stated authorship, not independent proof of every historical claim attributed to the book.
Open questions
- Can a program, recording, or post-event account verify the specific 2024 Féile performance and repertoire?
- What primary source establishes Mac Aoidh’s full institutional and publishing record?
