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 already 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 can be regularly seen performing 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 alongside percussionist Brodie McCash in late 2025. Admission included with entry. Retiring collection in aid of Wells Cathedral.
