LEST WE FORGET KATE & ANNA McGARRIGLE
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.Kate and Anna McGarrigle look alike, sound alike, and love each other. They also love their Canadian homeland, Jesus and their extended family, and they sometimes sing in French. None of which makes their gig sound like the place to be; but in fact it very much is. The McGarrigles are hugely talented singer/songwriters who have consistently over the last 20 years or so come up with a mix of haunting laments, folk spirituals and whimsical love songs. While their songs have been covered by the likes of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, their own performances are usually definitive; close and fragile harmonies make the most of their melodies, which are often quite beautiful. But a good time to go to the bar is when they sing in French. These are moments when one realises what it must be like to be French and be surrounded by English and American pop. Bring on the subtitles.
