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.

To celebrate this year's performance from Chic ft Nile Rodgers, Festival No.6 has commissioned the Brythoniaid Male Voice Choir to record an incredible, unique version of ‘Good Times’ by Chic.

Originally produced for their album ‘Risqué’, ‘Good Times’ reached #1 in the US and #5 in the UK charts and is one of the most sampled songs in the world to date. The 60 members of the Brythoniad Male Voice Choir, formed in 1964 in Blaenau Ffestiniog, squeezed in to the studio to record their interpretation of the disco classic, then filmed a stunning video in Portmeirion.

After the success of their astounding version of ‘Blue Monday’ by New Order last year, the Brythoniaid Male Voice Choir was once again approached by Festival No.6 to bring their magic to the line up. They performed the biggest selling 12” of all time throughout the festival and this year will be making a welcome return. To watch last years performance, please head here.
