I'm far from being a pro, but as a follow-up to my last post I'd like to endorse what Barbara has said. Rather than take offence because they haven't given you free rein as to what to do, take their request as a compliment to your versatility - they know you can do a wide range of things, but they'd like to hear you do English stuff this time. It's not everyone that can persuade the Irish that English music is worth listening to, so you can be flattered by their choice.
