Presumably you have a link you're using to access the file. Add that link to a post to this site. You have to select "Rich Text" for your post. That will give you several options in a menu above. To make a link select the chain-like icon and it will give you a place to put the link and give you the ability to call it something if you want.

I think even "Plain Text" mode will recognize a link and make it active.

I found the chain ok but I must have typed something wrong.?

Still not working.

Try again. The "https:" part is not in blue, so its not a complete link. Even if I copy & paste the whole thing I get a message " page not available." I think YouTube links don't include that whole word, without some trickery.

Here's a sample link from RTE, just as an experiment. BAD THOUGHTS AND LANGUAGE! NO ONE SHOULD FOLLOW IT!

I tried to delete that link, but it was too late. Just an example - DO NOT FOLLOW!

Here's a more palatable link - Joseph Joachim playing Bach in 1903:

Note the period between the "u" and "b" in "YouTube."

martyjoe - Your link just doesn't work for some reason. I looked on YouTube and there were several videos covering the Fleadh on a channel "Northern Ireland Traveler." This was the only one I saw from TG4: youtube.com/live/bk7wBAK-WqI?s...jEZCotpd4

Well Doug that's a better one anyhow. More fiddles there than fiddles in the fiddle competition itself. I'm giving up on this one it seems there's too many characters to type each time and something isn't working. Maybe I can get one of the kids to do it for me. 

martyjoe - Here's another YouTube from TG4 that might be even better. Looks like some fine small ensembles.

And here is a collection of their daily coverage - its on their own player though, not YouTube.

As far as posting links, you don't need to be typing. I just select "Share" below the video, then "Copy to clipboard" and paste it into a post here. Never had a problem.

Very nice. I assume it is the over 18 duo competition. The one I was trying to put up is the competition that I was competing in last Friday. These guys & girls are way better anyhow.

Don't have time to watch it right now. I watched a little of the Sunday closing, and it was a little too Riverdance/Eurovision for me, but what I saw of the duos was quite nice, with some interesting combinations of instruments and styles. Good to see the harps, which don't seem to have made it over here much.
I was a bit startled to see this was in Belfast. I probably still have some cousins there, but we fell out of touch after my Mother's generation.
