WHOLE LOT OF SOUL
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.The 1997 Capital Radio Jazz, Funk and Soul Festival returns to the Royal Albert Hall from 1 to 6 July with an impressive line-up of artists from the last four decades.
The festival begins on Tuesday with American composer and pianist Burt Bacharach, in concert with The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Famous for classics such as "Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa", this is a one-off British concert with support on the night from Swing Out Sister.
On 2 July, BB King, the consummate Blues performer, takes to the stage, and on 4 July Alexander O'Neal (right) returns to the UK with a soul and R&B set as part of his forthcoming UK tour.
The festival concludes with a double helping of Earth, Wind and Fire on 5 and 6 July, which will feature Philip Bailey on lead vocals and a host of hits from "September" to "Saturday Nite".
