Orwell Corner presents concert on Tuesday Nov 22 at 7:30pm with the Newfoundland folk trio “The Once”.

The Newfoundland folk trio The Once is a phrase that means ‘imminently’.

From their beginnings as three actors who also loved to sing together, The Once has embraced a different vision of Newfoundland music.

The trio is comprised of Geraldine Hollett from Burin, Phil Churchill from Corner Brook and Andrew Dale from Coley’s Point.

Their sounds do not come from the noisy pubs and dockside taverns that fuel so much of the Island’s energy.

Instead, their music comes from a quieter and more thoughtful place. Hope and tragedy are intertwined in their music, whether they are singing an old lament from World War I, original songs that speak of love defeated, or tasteful songs from the artists whose music inspires them.

Check them out on this Canada AM appearance http://www.ctv.ca/canadaAMPlayer/index.html?video=547392 or on their web site www.theonce.ca. The show will be held in the Community Hall, doors will open at 6:45pm, tickets are $20 + taxes and are available in advance by contacting Tom LeClair at orwellcorner@eastlink.ca or 651-8513 or at the door, cash only.
