This is a Special Event created by Hang Out Naked Midlands for men to enjoy a relaxed, friendly, social, calming afternoon, in the company of a renowned classical harpist, whilst he and the audience are naked. This event is open to all HONM members, past Meet-Up attendees, and others that commit to upholding our Rules and Code of Conduct.
Welcoming Llywelyn Ifan Jones to Birmingham, his autumn programme has been inspired by one of earth's powerful elements, water. It surrounds and shapes us all. It flows through our histories, landscapes, and in our bodies. In this programme LLywelyn explores water's many dimensions, from gentle rain to vast rivers, from hidden springs to turbulent seas, and from its power in renewable energy to its unforgiving force in natural disaster.
