In the middle of the performance, Artur Graczyk switched from the cajon to the drums, and bassist Neil Dorrington expanded the band for the rest of the concert.

At the end of 2011 Sheridan released a Christmas EP with four songs under the title Walking in the Air . The proceeds from the sale went to the Irish Make-A-Wish Foundation , for which Sheridan is an ambassador. At Christmas the single was in the top 10 of the Irish singles chart.
