About Me

The Moot are a very talented 2 piece female DIY band from the UK with their very own original blend of Moot Music combining elements of Reggae,Pop, Funk, Ska,Soul,Blues and Nu Jazz.

The band have a unique live sound that has often been compared to that of a full band. They like to keep things simple and have a clean and uncluttered sound.Lead Singer and Guitarist Clare’s fantastic technique and song writing ability combined with Eryl's Drumming make for one of the most unique interesting lively music experiences you will come across.The Band have played over 100 gigs since they formed in Galloway, Scotland 2005 and have played some fantastic places including:Wimfest at the Barfly in Liverpool, Thimbleberry Music Festival in County Durham, the Holmfirth Picturedrome, An Ice Ring in Huddersfield Town Centre and the Rock Club in Covent Garden, London.The Moot have also played in a Glass Box in Bristol as part of bbc upstaged this was broadcast LIVE on BBCi and the BBC website for 11hrs over 2 days on the 14th and 22nd of February 2008. Highlights have been shown and continue to be shown on BBC3The Moot will also have some footage that was recorded at the above aired on NSJ (Japanese tv) on 21st March 2008The Moot played to their biggest Live audience yet at Thimbleberry Music festival in September 2007 where 3000 people bounced and danced to their music.In August 2007 The Moot won a heat and a semi final and came overall 3rd in a National Battle of The Bands competition held at the Rock Club London.The Band have had many tracks played on podcasts from all over the world (all listed on myspace) and have had tracks played on South West Sound Radio, and BBC Raw Talent.The Moot played 2 acoustic song live on BBC Raw Talent in Nov 2006, as a result Snuggle up was entered into the BBC Raw talent End of year song competition 2006.

" As an indication of a band well worth keeping an eye out for, LET ME KNOW is a demo that announces The Moot as a duo with the songs, style and attitude to believe in. " Uk Music Search
" Like all good lovers, The Moot keep their promises and this is a fully-realised vision: charming, disarming and oddly poignant, with a masterful understanding of mood so it stays fresh throughout…this reviewer stumbles off now, punch-drunk, thunderstruck and hopelessly in love." Jay Lawrance Sandman Magazine
" the band's clear ear for a simple uplifting pop ditty shines through...a good producer could easily turn this into the sound of the summer." Richard Garnett, Leeds Music Scene
" their songs are immediately recognisable and catchy enough to kick around in your headspace long after the track’s finished playing. " Andrew Burden, Glasswerk
" a very, very good band " Alan Raw, BBC Raw Talent Show
"If reggae is your thing then The Moot cannot help but impress." Simon Butler, efestivals.com
"“The Way It Is” its got a lovely little groove and bounce to it and quite frankly it won’t leave my head. If you enjoy a good laid back beat and are looking for something a bit different go for Moot." John Siwicki, Comfort Comes
