Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Fresh 'n' Funky has been running for longer than I can remember on what used to be considered a "dead night" - Wednesday. But the event seems to produce the same level of intense revelry each week.

One of its attractions is the lack of dress code. The sartorial style of the urban clubbers who fill the Hanover Grand every week is as relaxed and innovative as the night's musical policy.

The other reason for Fresh 'n' Funky's success is the music: drum'n'bass, R&B, hip-hop, rare grooves and even speed garage all get their turn - as long as they produce the required quota of soul.

The main room champions the phattest R&B cuts while hip-hop and rare groove classics get spun in the basement. Regardless of where you are, the dance floor will always be crammed.

Great value for money and guaranteed to keep you buzzing until the weekend kicks in.

Wednesdays, Hanover St, London W1 (0171-499 7977) 9.30pm-3am, pounds 5
