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.As heard at last year's Cheltenham Jazz Festival, this is Brum-based Irish composer Peacock's knockout suite of carnivalesque compositions, played by a 16-piece big band where strings and percussion can be as important as horns.
The seven pieces are a little uneven but there's some fabulous stuff here, especially the euphoric "Hallucinogenic Garden" and the yearning "Bit of Peace". The album is launched at Birmingham's MAC this Thursday, with Django Bates guesting.
