PICK OF THE WEEK
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.Steve Earle
He feels all right, does , as evinced on his fine new rocking country album, I Feel Alright, out now on Transatlantic.
Sun, Mon 7pm, Shepherd's Bush Empire, London W12 (0171-740 7474)
The Divine Comedy
Widely touted eccentric pop routine. Self-regarding enough to be next year's Pulp.
Tue, Jug of Ale, Birmingham (0121-643 6103), Weds, Hop and Grape, Manchester (0161-832 1111)
Ron Sexsmith
Moody, inward, Canadian yet strangely elegant songwriter without obvious precedent. Elvis Costello rates him, as does Richard Thompson, whom Ron supports at the Albert Hall on Wednesday.
Mon & Thur 8.30pm, Borderline, London WC2 (0171-734 2095)
