Hello all! I’m an American postgrad student starting at Cambridge in October. I’m curious about the local music scene in Cambridge. Are there many local/student bands? Are there any DIY venues or pubs in town or in the colleges that book local acts?
Also, I’d love any information about the vibes/culture at Cam FM, if anyone on this sub is involved with the station. Is it more of a corporate station than an indie station?
My undergrad uni had a pretty robust local music scene that centered around the campus radio station, so if there’s any scenes or communities like that at Cambridge, I’d love to get involved! Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone! I’m a 22-year-old butch who just graduated college (yay!). To celebrate, my girlfriend (also 22, femme) and I are going to Europe for three weeks. We’re leaving in a few days, and we’ll be spending time in Portugal (Lisbon and the Algarve), Prague, and Paris. I’m incredibly excited, but I’m having a hard time deciding what to pack for clubbing and going out. I struggle with feeling confident/like myself when I have to dress nice because my style uniform is typically just a graphic t-shirt with some baggy jeans. Does anyone have any tips for what to wear when going out as a butch? We don’t plan on going to any super exclusive or fancy clubs (we’ll probably spend most of our nights out at gay clubs in Portugal and maybe one night out each in Prague and Paris), but I would still like to look good and feel confident. I’m considering bringing some nicer short sleeve button-ups that I could layer over a plain t-shirt and wear with trousers, but I don’t know if this is too casual or the wrong vibe entirely. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! :)
