The Folk Group  The Once return 2nd February

I'm posting this second video of the Once the other one is in our News section. These are for those who have not yet come across this great group from Newfoundland Canada. I quote from recent critics who have said of them:

Just as the sea refuses no river, the Once turns back no listeners.
These three Newfoundlanders gracefully and evocatively offer gem-like maritime
music – foot-stomping shanties, heart-rendering ballads, salt-aired
interpretations (of Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen tunes) and a cappella three-part
harmonies thicker than Mama Cass’s midriff. The drinkable Geraldine Hollett is
the pure-voiced starlet, riveting on the soloed Marguerite. Something singular
is happening here, you bet.”
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
