However, this page suggests that such a form as ceolfaidh mé was possible in that dialect. On the other hand, it is obvious that the person using it was what we call cainteoir foirceanta in Irish, i.e. a terminal speaker, one who wasn't speaking the language regularly anymore and who might not have used the form back when the language was still vigorous as a community idiom.
With that proviso, I accept the possibility that people attempting to revive the native East Ulster Irish use such forms as ceolfaidh, ceolann, cheolfadh in their language.
