{"aliases":[],"awards":[],"biography_summary":"P\u00e1draig O'Keeffe (Irish: P\u00e1draig \u00d3 Caoimh) (died 1963) was an Irish traditional musician. O'Keeffe was the eldest of eight children from a musical family. He was known for his fiddle playing, self-devised system of notating music, and numerous skilled pupils. He is regarded as one of the greatest fiddlers of the Sliabh Luachra style. His death marked the end of the travelling fiddlemasters of Munster. There is no great consistency in the spelling of the anglicised version of his name. On returns from the 1901 census, he is listed as Patrick O'Keeffe. He was known locally as Patrick or P\u00e1draic Keeffe. On recording labels his surname is recorded as O'Keeffe (and incorrectly) O'Keefe.","birth_date":"1887-01-01","birth_place":null,"birth_place_coordinates":null,"birth_place_wikidata_id":null,"birth_place_wikidata_url":null,"canonical_name":"Padraig O'Keeffe","canonical_url":"https://en.instaget.online/people/00ce74aa06c0e57c291b3b21","citizenships":["Ireland"],"death_date":"1963-01-01","description":"Irish musician (1887\u20131963)","external_ids":{"isni":{"id":"0000000041572276","url":"https://isni.org/isni/0000000041572276"},"loc":{"id":"no98120420","url":"https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no98120420.html"},"viaf":{"id":"56237401","url":"https://viaf.org/viaf/56237401/"}},"full_name":"Padraig O'Keeffe","height_cm":null,"names":{"aliases":[],"birth":[],"native":[],"official":[]},"native_name":null,"notable_works":[],"occupations":["fiddler","composer"],"official_websites":[],"photo":null,"profile_url":"https://en.instaget.online/people/00ce74aa06c0e57c291b3b21","provenance":{"catalog":"wikidata_wikipedia","fetched_at":"2026-08-29T06:46:36Z","social_archives_included":false,"source_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2097739"},"public_hash":"00ce74aa06c0e57c291b3b21","schema_version":"1.1","socials":{},"tags":[{"key":"category:arts-and-culture","label":"Arts and culture","type":"category"},{"key":"occupation:fiddler","label":"fiddler","type":"occupation"},{"key":"occupation:composer","label":"composer","type":"occupation"},{"key":"citizenship:ireland","label":"Ireland","type":"citizenship"}],"wikidata_id":"Q2097739","wikidata_url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2097739","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padraig_O%27Keeffe"}
