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.Welshman John Cale (right), a co-founder of the Velvet Underground, begins a short UK tour tonight which marks his most extensive outing in this country for 15 years. Since leaving the Velvets in 1968, he's made 20 solo albums, produced the likes of Jonathan Richman, Nico and Patti Smith, and collaborated with other avant-gardists including Brian Eno and Terry Riley. These performances see him play grand piano and acoustic guitar accompanied by multi-instrumentalists Lance Doss and Mark Deffenbaugh. A busy month for Cale has also seen a major compilation of work from across his career released on Island, and the publication of his autobiography, What's Welsh For Zen?
