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.BABYBIRD'S current album, There's Something Going On, has been less acclaimed than its more poppy predecessor, Ugly Beautiful, which spawned the now overplayed "You're Gorgeous" single. Yet it's when they're on the darker, more personal, bittersweet side of pop that Stephen Jones's band excel and, in the theatrical settings chosen for this tour, the new songs should come across well. Support comes from V2 signings Tin Star.

While the second album from Sunderland popsters Kenickie (above) generally offers too much Euro and not enough pop, they do still have a stack of decent punky songs from their first outing from which to draw. Live, they've always had the reputation of a band eager to please, and to dispense energy, humour and fun times.
