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.One of the best songwriters and most outstanding musical chameleons of the last quarter-century winds up his current tour with an evening on the South Bank. Accompanied only by his keyboard player - and original member of the Attractions - Steve Nieve, previous shows over the past few weeks have seen Costello (right) using a fluid setlist, playing songs that he feels best suit the audience and occasion. There's certainly a lot of numbers and styles to choose from, as his recent 42-track Very Best Of double album confirms, covering as it does a range of songs, from the spiky pop punk of the early days, through the excellent R'n'B-influenced "Get Happy" album, to country songs and heartfelt ballads.
