I don't have a specifically Irish style, (certainly not enough to distinguish a regional preference) and I have also learned from predominantly English musicians, it's just that a lot of the time .... they're playing Irish tunes.

The style transcends the origin of the tunes. Willie Taylor up in the Borders used to be able to listen to RTE and learned tunes off Irish fiddlers being broadcast. Listen to him play those tunes and you'd swear that they were born in Northumbria.
