During the early 1980s Verity worked with Brian Connolly (former vocalist with Sweet) in an attempt to launch him as a solo artist.

A single, "Hypnotised" was released on Carrere Records in 1982 produced by Verity, and written by Joe Lynn Turner.

Verity was part of Connolly's backing band Encore when they supported Pat Benatar at the beginning of 1983.

The usual line-up features Liam James Gray on drums with either Bob Skeat or Roger Iniss on bass.
