DOOT

DOOT is a Sheffield-based baritone saxophone and bass clarinet duo made up of Kirsten Beveridge and Henry McNamara. They specialise in low woodwinds, and their aim is to promote new works specifically for their unusual duo. Formed in late 2023, the duo has commissioned and premiered multiple new works, led outreach performances for schools and asylum seekers, and performed both locally and abroad at events such as the International Clarinet Association's Low Clarinet Fest 2025, Classical Sheffield's Classical Weekend 2025, and the 2025 World Snooker Championship. The duo regularly performs around Sheffield at venues such as the Octagon Centre, Sheffield Cathedral, Firth Hall, and Leah's Yard. DOOT was featured in the CASSGB's magazine in Summer 2025, and toured Scotland as McDOOT alongside percussionist Brodie McCash in late 2025. Later this year, DOOT will embark on three tours: one with guitar duo J2Duo, one solo, and one returning to Scotland for McDOOT 2026.
