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.He was - briefly - fab in the Sixties with the moaning, groaning "This Wheel's on Fire". It later rolled back behind the faux Vogue credits of Absolutely Fabulous. The 1968 hit for Brian Auger's Trinity piles on the irony - recalling images of cheesecloth, incense, afro wigs and all the other Sixties' paraphernalia cluttering up Patsy and Edina's lives. Very retro, very knowing, very funny.
As young bands like Oasis and Kula Shaker demonstrate, old music can be pretty cool, too. We've been through the Beatles, the Kinks, the glam revival. Could Jazz rock fusion be next? Check out Brian Auger and his latest Oblivion Express, a band which he first formed in 1970. Auger is a true fusion pioneer, once voted best jazz organist in the world, a Grammy nominee and a musician who has been in and out of the limelight... and survived.
