- The Moot are a two piece female band from the UK who play an original blend of reggae/Pop. The line up is Clare (electric guitar and vocals) and Eryl (Drums & backing Vocals) 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. They are all about the music and having fun.
Since September 2005 The Moot have played over 90 gigs around the UK including Wimfest at the Barfly in Liverpool, Thimbleberry Music Festival in County Durham, the Holmfirth Picturedrome and the Rock Club in Covent Garden, London.
In September 2006 they played to a packed tent at the Thimbleberry Music Festival in County Durham.
The Moot supported signed French band La Cedille in October 2006 as part of the Black History week in Huddersfield.
The Moot were invited to play two songs Snuggle Up and Seagulls in the acoustic lounge on the BBC Raw Talent show at the end of November 2006. Snuggle up was entered into the Acoustic End of Year Polls as a result.

In February the moot were contacted by and A&R guy from Parlophone/Emi and we asked to send some of their material for consideration.
In June The Moot played their first gig in London at the Rock Garden, gardening Club in Covent Garden, the gig was part of a battle of the bands competition, The Moot won their heat, and got through to the Semi-Final, following the Semi-Final win the band returned a week later to take part in the final of the competition. They were delighted to come 3rd in the competition and won 365 Bottles of Freedom Beer.
The Moot were invited back to Thimbleberry in September 2007 where they played on the main stage to their biggest audience yet of 3000 bouncing people.
So far The Moot have written 80 songs and play about 40 of them at gigs,
Around 12 cover songs are also woven into the live set, some of them being re-worked into a reggae style.
Eryl has been playing music since July 2005 and Clare has been playing music for over 20 years, her ability to play rhythm guitar whilst playing a continuous bass riff means that the band sound fantastic as a two piece.
