I have heard mix responses to Irish’s performance. Some thought it was wonderful, some were underwhelmed. I’m just glad that her performance had made us think, and talk about her show. Yeah, she is loud and in your face, with hard driving chords and strong lyrics sung at the top of her lungs. She threw her hair all over the stage and comes across as larger than life. But she also made us laugh to her stories and engaged the audience with her banter.
