In between lockdowns, indie-folk artist Jackie Beverly snatched the perfect opportunity to deliver a high quality and unique livestream show to an exclusive group of people.

When Ireland moved from Level 3 to Level 5 back in October, the enigmatic indie-folk artist had two live shows booked and sold out at the Workman's Club in Dublin. Instead of postponing them, she decided to bring her loyal audience a truly authentic and stripped back livestream experience. The show was not publicly advertised, as it was designed for only those who had purchased tickets to her Workman's Club gigs.

But with another wave of the coronavirus and more lockdown restrictions leading into 2021, Beverly has decided to share the private livestream as a way to connect with her audience online, wherever in the world they may be, and to bring an easy distraction to people's lives.

The livestream will take place in full on Thursday February 11th at 8pm, and Beverly will be releasing a teaser video of her devastating atmospheric folk single 'Sea Glass' a few days prior.

Thinking on her feet, and working in tandem with Kodaline's Jason Boland (who happens to be an incredible videographer, in addition to a talented musician), the results are a visual and aural treat. Beverly also enlisted the work studios of Ireland’s dynamic creative duo Jill & Gill for a one-of-a-kind location.

Jill & Gill is made up of illustrator Jill Deering and printmaker Gillian Henderson, who work out of their multidisciplinary studio in Dublin. They're a fresh approach to print and illustration across fine art, fashion, textiles and design.

"We see the space as multifaceted," the duo said of hosting the livestream. "Lockdown gave us time to think, community is a part of the Jill & Gill brand we intend to build on moving forward. Because of lockdown, we weren't using our workshop space to its fullest, so working with Jackie on this project gave us an opportunity to explore other possible ventures in the space, assisting other creatives and the wider creative community during these difficult things."
