Llywelyn Ifan Jones' autumn programme has been inspired by one of earth's powerful elements. Water surrounds and shapes us all. It flows through our histories, landscapes, and in our bodies.
For October 2025, Llywelyn presents a programme that 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.
This autumn, something will be slightly different...
In response to numerous requests, autumn's progamme will be performed twice: once on a weekend afternoon (Sunday); and once on a weekday evening (Wednesday)!
So please tell your network that whether weekends or weekdays are better, there is now a choice!
'There is no demure tinkling.
Expect to be drawn to the very edge of your seat by the commitment, warmth, and fluency of his playing.'

This harp recital is a naturist event for those who identify as men.
Attendees are expected to be nude in the performance area along with the performing artist.
I would like to reiterate this is NOT a group sex party / orgy.
Please respect the event as a safe space where guests can enjoy live music and socialize without the pressure for sex.

BONOBO! is in a studio space of a private residence within a converted factory warehouse. The feel of the venue is minimalist, with sparse furniture. The seating for this event will be a combination of folded chairs, floor cushions, duvets, bean bags. Most guests will be asked to sit/lie on the floor or stand. Formal (chair/sofa) seating will be given as priority to those less able to sit on the floor.
This is not an event for sexual activity. Although arousal (erection of the penis) is a normal part of male physiology and can be expected in the presence of nudity, the focus of the event is to enjoy the live music, share food, drink, and conversation and not bodily fluids or sexual pleasures! By all means please make connections, exchange contact details, and be friendly during the event.
No online booking in advance? No entry.
Tickets sold are non-refundable.
*Please contact the organizers to inform them if a ticket sold to you is to be used by someone else.*
Last entry to the event is at 8pm. Latecomers will not be admitted.
This recital is for any man regardless of your relationship status or sexuality. Whether you are single, married, partnered to a man or a woman or non-binary person - all men who identify as men are welcome.
Llywelyn Ifan jones and Lalith Wijedoru hope to see you in October for a sonic voyage through water's power to connect, shape, and transform. Come join us for a musical celebration of one of nature's most elemental forces.
