The long anticipated Christmas album by the darlings of the Newfoundland music scene the Once.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The golden trio of Geraldine Hollett<\/strong>, Andrew Dale<\/strong> and Phil Churchill<\/strong> are back with a wonderful little holiday album that is loaded with special guests from bands like Mercy The Sexton<\/strong>, Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, Dardanelles, Navigators, Punters , <\/strong>and solo stars like Kelly Russell<\/strong> and Duane Andrews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sure to be our biggest selling holiday album in years!!<\/p>\n

There are a few co-writes on here… Cause It’s Christmas<\/strong> was a co-write between The Once<\/strong> and Luke Major<\/strong> (featuring Aaron Collis<\/strong> on accordion, Kelly Russell<\/strong> on fiddle and Fred Jorgensen<\/strong> on tin whistle), I Won’t Do Christmas<\/strong> Without You<\/strong> was co-written between Geraldine<\/strong> and Luke Major<\/strong> (featuring Patrick Moran<\/strong> on fiddle), and Oh My Rudolph<\/strong> was a co-write\u00a0 between Phil<\/strong> and Jody Richardson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They have also added their signature stamp on holiday classics like The Coventry Carol<\/strong>, the Walt Disney classic All I Want For Christmas<\/strong> Is My Two Front Teeth<\/strong>, I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day<\/strong> (featuring Terry Campbel<\/strong>l on trumpet and Karen Bulmer<\/strong> on tuba), Gabriel’s Message<\/strong> (featuring Duane Andrews<\/strong> on guitar, Aaron Collis<\/strong> on accordion, Patrick Moran<\/strong> on fiddle and Karen Bulmer<\/strong> on tuba), and Hark!The Herald Angels Sing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
