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.

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 am afraid the Spanish American has not always a very strict regard for truth.

I am not an American; I am the American.

Don't let the American accent fool you. I am British.

I am not an African. I am an American.
