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.

Percy Sledge

The voice has diminished hardly at all, and last year's "Blue Night" was a soul purler. Catch him while the honey drips. From Mon, London Jazz Cafe (0171-344 044)

Inaura

Outrageously ambitious pop kids whose eight-minute single "This Month's Epic" sets its sights on the stars and beyond.

Tues 9pm, London Camden Palace (0171-387 0428)

COMING UP

Tindersticks/ Baby Bird

From Tindersticks: sumptuous torch songs that hang in the air like ghosts. From Baby Bird: wayward lo-fi pop that hangs around your stereo like a dribbling lunatic. Both make the mind boggle, in different ways. Fri 19 Jan, London Astoria (0171-434 0403)
