Join us for a very special performance on Wednesday 26 July to celebrate the launch of the 2023 Lancaster Jazz Festival programme.

Power Out by Sarah Heneghan

Brought to you by Sheffield-based drummer Sarah Heneghan, Power Out is a performative mish-mash of live drums, electronics, and lights to create a whirling atmosphere of beats; some dancey, others immersive. The set brings a narrative of pumping dance music contrasted with improvised live drumming.

Power Out has performed at festivals such as Manchester Jazz Festival, No Bounds Festival, and London Jazz Festival.

“For one person, the clatter was extraordinary; Power Out was positively electrifying.”
Now Then magazine, 2021.

Power Out is a continuous set of live drums, electronics, and lights to create a whirling atmosphere of beats. It’s a story of pumping dance music contrasted with improvised live drumming, that blows apart expectations of what solo drumming can be.
