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.One by one, the class of January are having to deliver. Now it's the turn of Stornoway, featured in the BBC's Sound of 2010 Poll.
Like Mumford & Sons, Oxford quartet Stornoway are nominally a folk-based outfit, and whip up a light soufflé of strummed six-strings and chorister-pure singing, but their lyrics deal with such un-folk locations as south-east London and such un-folk pursuits as zorbing. The hype is at least half-justified, and they'll doubtless become the biggest band named after a remote part of Scotland since Mull Historical Society.
