12 Live Streamed performances direct from The Verdict
during lockdown in April, May, June 2021
“As live events make a very cautious and conditional return, there’s still a big hole in the local scene left by the closure of the local club circuit. While there’s an abundance of international livesteam material available from the likes of Emmet Cohen, much of it very good indeed, the pandemic has also highlighted the importance of the kind of audience-artist connection that can only really thrive on the grassroots circuit. It’s therefore very welcome indeed to see Brighton’s Verdict club back in action again, under the directorship of drummer/percussionist Tristan Banks, offering a regular weekly programme of ticketed livestream gigs from the roster of locally based, international quality artists who would have filled it back in the long-ago days of normal.” – Eddie Myer SJM
