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.

Bobby Byrd (right), the man who led James Brown's band during the Sixties and wrote more than 40 of the Godfather's hits, is back in town. The Godfather's Godfather, Byrd, along with his wife Vicki Anderson, played a large part in the success of the "James Brown Show", and their cult solo tunes like "I Know You Got Soul" and "Hot Pants" still pack out the dancefloors. Tonight's gig, at the Forum, will feature Bobby, Vicki Anderson, plus very special guests, supported by DJ Jasper the Vinyl Junkie.

There are 10 pairs of tickets on offer to Independent readers. The first to call the Jazz Cafe on 0171-916 6060 after 10am will have their names on the door.
