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.THEY MIGHT not be selling as many records as in the days of Different Class, but the live reputation of Pulp (right) remains intact. In Jarvis Cocker they have the most charismatic figure of Britrock and their set is peppered with singalong anthems, none more so than "Common People". Accompanying them on this tour around the nation's arenas are maverick Californian doomsters Eels, and Island Records' quirky punkers, Tiger.

Texan roots singer Nanci Griffith has built up a loyal UK following since she first toured here in the mid-1980s. In that time, she's shifted from country-rock numbers like "Ford Econoline" to a more folky sound which embraces the traditions not only of her own country but also has strong Celtic influences. Her recent album Other Voices Too (A Trip to the Bountiful) may not be her strongest, but, accompanied by the Blue Moon Orchestra, the delicate vocal displays of this songstress never fail to invoke a warm, feel-good factor.
