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.

Newsflash: He hasn't gone dubstep.

Let's face it, you know exactly what Rockinghorse sounds like, but it would be perverse to pretend that it isn't a high-quality example of its genre. Holland's still doing his boogie-woogie thing, with big-name guests such as Michael McDonald, Allen Toussaint, Alison Moyet and Ruby Turner.

It's dominated by blues and big-band standards, but titles such as "London Belongs to Me" (feat Chas & Dave) and lyrics about "a block of flats on Deptford Green" have the unmistakeable aroma of the home-grown.
