The Co. Monaghan singer-songwriter's debut album The Day You Live Forever, released last Friday by Universal Music Germany, has reached top position on the German iTunes chart.

The record was originally released back in 2011 on independent label Rubyworks, who then licensed the album to Universal in Germany. The German release comes on the back of a solid last twelve months for Sheridan in which he joined Rea Garvey as special guest in January/February for his European tour.

Sheridan is currently preparing for a seven-date stint in Germany as special guest with German rockers Silly, before returning home for a series of shows that includes festival appearances in Westport (June 30) and Bandon (June 8).

Here's those Irish dates in full.
