I can suggest a LIKELY place to have a nude sing around - a Clothing-Optional folk festival. I first heard about this from Sue Trainor, in the Hot Soup trio. I found the whole concept a bit er... chilling, but Sue said the audience did put jackets or blankets on in the chillier part of the evenings. I believe she mentioned that autoharp guru Bryan Bowers had played this festival as well, though I wouldn't swear to that.

The observation the Hot Soup ladies made was along the lines that it was a whole new way of being nervous, because that old "just imagine your audience in their underwear/naked" wouldn't work QUITE the same way in making the performer more at ease with their audience.

It also seems that acapella would work best with au nautural. *I* wouldn't want to get all sweaty all over my instruments, but then I'd be nice to the universe and not appear in public without decorative apparel covering the bigger bits.
