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.All roads lead to London this New Year's Eve, but when forced to recommend one event, I'd suggest travelling a little further south, to Bournemouth. Slinky gigs are always slickly designed and crammed full of stylish energetic clubbers who keep the dancefloor fluid, cheering every crescendo until chucking-out time. This year Graham Gold, Guy Ornadel, Luke Neville and Slacker feature in the Grand Auditorium while Tim Lyall, Si Sanchez and Bob Povey feature in the Groove Garden, with Carl Cox's garagey vibe via an ISDN link from Hawaii. He's obviously got the best end of the deal, but with four huge video monitors, you'll have a better view than if he were there in person. Great value for money and, with 2,000 revellers, will be a classic occasion that should avoid so many of the dire pitfalls of other over-sized, one-off gigs.
570 Christchurch Rd, Bournemouth (01202 399 922) Fri 31 Dec, 8pm-12noon, pounds 65
