Brighter Days

Brighter Days club nights at The Junction

(author: Paul R Owens)

Brighter Days was set up by local Cambridge residents, Sarah Day and Steve Reed, and with the help of a troupe of talented local djs, promotes soulful house and disco nights in and around the Cambridge area.

Originally hosting popular events at Anglia Ruskin University and the Fez club, along with two highly successful local festivals, Brighter Days held three incredible club nights at the Junction – the first hosted the popular Ibiza club night “Glitterbox” (founded by Simon Dunmore of Defected Records) with djs Joey Negro, Full Intention (Michael Gray & Jon Pearn) and Melvo Baptiste.

The second event was Brighter Days 3rd Birthday Party, welcoming back Simon Dunmore, Full Intention and introducing Melon Bomb (dj trio from Ibiza). As with the first night, the upstairs bar was transformed into a VIP boutique, this time with a “Studio 54” Disco theme, with Brighter Days djs Blackwax, CJ Cooper, chief koala, Simon Morgan and Adi Allen providing an evening of delightful disco grooves !

The third and most recent night was another fantastic sellout event with House Legend Tony Humphries and djs Ricky Morrison, Mike Maher and Tonky, along with the Brighter Days Residents.

All these nights proved highly popular, with an amazing blend of music, new tunes and club classics, along with a great mix of people, from a younger crowd right up to the older more seasoned clubbers.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
