Dance A Jig!
An unknown band plays a lively tune at the Four Green Fields in Cleveland Park. Never heard of the Four Green Fields? That's because it's the pub formerly known as The Four Provinces. Apparently a change in ownership recently also meant a change in name. That's too bad; for some reason I liked the old name better.
My apologies to this band for not knowing its name. Although we left in search of a quieter place for conversation after they'd played only a few songs, they were actually very good. If I had just been hanging out rather than trying to catch up with friends, I definitely would have stayed to enjoy the show. I mean, come on — they had a fiddle and an accordion ! How are you going to beat that? The singing was good, too; very Poguesy, which is a great thing as far as I'm concerned.
