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.Join with us," The Feeling command on one of their less forgettable numbers, a request tricky to perform when they are ensconced halfway up the French Alps. For that is where you will find them next week as the good-time band get to curate their own festival, Little World.
Based in the ski resort of Méribel, this five-day event sees them return to their roots. It was in and around this collection of hamlets and chalets that The Feeling played some of their earliest gigs, performing up to three sets of covers a day to an inebriated après-ski crowd in different bars.
The line-up tips its hat to middle-of-the-road inspirations, featuring Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze fame and 10cc's Graham Gouldman. The bassist Richard Jones's wife, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, has a high billing, as do the singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt and the DJ Norman Jay.
