I have not been to a Cleveland session in several years, but had the pleasure of going to the Old Angle several years ago. Not sure what is going on now, but the level of playing when I was there was first rate. Many years ago I saw "theboxplayer" at a session at Fado's in the flats when she was still fairly young and, as I recall, seemed to be getting started in playing, and the last few times I saw her she was one of the most outstanding irish accordian players around. There are some great musicians in Cleveland--yes Cleveland, my home town. Tunes are fast and they play a lot of tunes that are not part of the common session tune list, but if you are in Cleveland, don't miss it. As Drew Carey says, "Cleveland Rocks!"
Thursday nights, 8 to 10PM.
