Cavity wall insulation - or Dryline inside..........
What is in back of the brick, is it block or wood veneered, If it is block you can use vermiculite or perlite, if it is wood veneered you ca use blown in insulation between the sheetrock and the outside wall. Good Luck
foam insulation which is blown in the cavity
One way is make a three inch hole in the sheetrock at the top of each space between studs and fill with loose insulation .then patch the holes.. Just a idea but will probably work.
Stryofoam insulation is great, buy it in thin blocks, frame in the wall with wood and add the insulation in between the frames. Then add drywall or beadboard on the top.
