McDOOT - Free Lunchtime Concerts

Doors open 30' before start time

We welcome back the extraordinary talent of McDOOT - a unique trio combining the top notch marimba player Brodie McCash, with bass clarinet and baritone saxophone duo 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 ensemble. Formed in late 2023, the duo has already commissioned and premiered multiple new works, led outreach projects for everyone from schoolchildren to refugees, and performed across the UK and internationally.

After completing his Masters degree in performance and composition, Brodie McCash began performing with local orchestras, brass bands and musical theatre companies. He is also establishing himself as an in-demand soloist around Aberdeenshire. During the Sound Festival in October 2024, Brodie performed the Scottish Premiere of Gene Koshinski’s Concerto for Marimba and Choir. Kirsten and Brodie met whilst studying together at the University of Aberdeen; the three musicians have teamed up to form McDOOT, a trio with unique instrumentation and endless sound possibilities.
