Bunhill: The way Adam found the Faith
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.SO FAREWELL then, Adam Faith. My mum bought one of your records once but luckily never invested any money with Roger Levitt, with whom you were once associated.
Now readers of the Mail on Sunday will no longer have the benefit of your investment advice, but you have a curious connection with the Independent, dating back more than 30 years. It involves you and my colleague Nicholas Faith, who is otherwise no relation.
In the late 1950s, you were working as a film cutter in Wardour Street. A producer introduced you to Jack Gold, impressario of Six-Five Special and other pioneering pop shows. Gold liked your talent but not your name, then Terry Nelhams. Casting around for an alternative he thought of two friends - Adam Fremantle and Nicholas Faith. Hence Adam Faith.
