American audiences are great. They get what I am doing, but as my band will tell you, nowhere tops the Irish audience. They are just brilliant. They are very open, but the Americans and Spanish come a close second.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had found English audiences highly satisfactory. They are the best listeners in the world. Perhaps the music-lovers of some of our larger cities equal the English, but I do not believe they can be surpassed in that respect.
My American audiences are pretty mixed. I get all sorts of people, old and young. It's nice.
Every audience has its character; I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.
The Spanish and the American audiences are lunatics. They are very passionate and, like the Irish, they don't have as many inhibitions. If you are playing somewhere like Austria or Sweden, it takes them a little while to come out of themselves.
I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.
Luckily for me, I genuinely like my audience. They really are a good bunch.
I think American audiences are open to people with accents and different nationalities being on the screen.
I think the U.K. is an amazing place and has been extremely good to me. Some of my favorite and most-listened-to bands are from England. I have met many good people there and have been in front of some of the most loyal audiences I have ever encountered.
The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except a bit more boring.
