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.

It’s St Patrick’s Day, so why are you sitting at your computer? Surely, you should be down the local having a Guinness by now?

Hosting a party, perhaps? Or stuck at your computer, counting down the hours until you can get your hands a that well deserved pint? It doesn’t matter, you need to get in the spirit, and there’s only one way to do that; with some classic Irish tunes.

We’ve brought together some classics for you to listen to, all with the aim of getting your Irish bones jiggling. And not a Galway Girl in sight.

So get on your feet and have a dance on us.

Of course, the entire playlist could be made up of Dropkick Murphys, or The Pogues, or Flogging Molly, or The Dubliners.

We’ve also got a few of Ireland’s best alternative bands in there, including The Cranberries, Ash and Two Door Cinema Club. And House of Pain, because they actually made a St. Patrick’s Day song. Enjoy!
