If you have not had the pleasure of hearing Kevin, George and Leo in concert then Make a big effort to get along to hear them. You will not be disappointed. (No financial interest and no, I am not their agent, just a fan!)
I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order. - Eric Morecambe

Can't see any videos in post 2, it's just blank white space. Same with three different devices, five different browsers, three different operating systems (all fully updated). Not a firewall or router issue because tested under different scenarios: (1) home ethernet, (2) wifi at different location, and (3) phone data-only (different carrier) from a different region many miles away.
I looked at the page's source code:
I tried copy/pasting the Vimeo URL from the source code, into a new browser tab and pressing "Enter", but that only resulted in the browser offering to download a "moogaloop.swf" file, which the device can't open.
Then I went to the Vimeo homepage to see what their URL format was supposed to look like, hm that doesn't look too complicated, so I copy/pasted the source-code's video ID for each video and appended that to the vimeo homepage URL, resulting in these which seem to be probably the videos that you posted:
https://vimeo.com/180028747, https://vimeo.com/185982392, https://vimeo.com/193446212. Hm, looks like those actual URL's are also visible in the text-editing box after hitting "Reply" to that post... strange that they show up there but not in the finalized page... huh.
Let me try to embed those here below, maybe I can keep the page from doing something squirrely with the URL's... I couldn't make it work with the full URL and "Insert video" (filmstrip icon), but it looks like it *does* work when using the alternate method - "Wrap vimeo tags around selected text" (blue "v" icon), woohoo I can see the videos here now:
Ok, so... That's excellent music! You guys are really good. Very enjoyable to listen to.
I especially enjoy your playing of "Hardiman the Fiddler" (2nd video, especially last half), very nice! Inspires me to re-learn that tune, I used to play it eons ago, although not as nice as yours. I've been looking for a new tune to work on, that looks like a good one!
EDIT:
Android device behavior with Chrome browser shows and plays the re-posted videos in *this* post, but once a video has started playing, it can't be stopped, rewound, or fast-forwarded (all Vimeo video controls disappear) without reloading the page. Never had that problem with YouTube, I'm thinking it's something specific to Vimeo. Anyway, still great music!
- My attempts at learning how to play stuff: English tune on old Favilla mandolin, Mouse In The Mug on 2 mandolins, banjo and mando, heresy, a Playford variation I made up, Brazos cowboy swing, holiday 1, holiday 2, etc.
- Tab + practice midi backing tracks: Chadwick's Bog, Calypso Carol, Month of May, Newcastle, Alt Greek, Mignonne (Antonelli) variation, etc.
- Quickie tutorial: Write your own music and tab in MuseScore 2.1.
