The group features Geraldine Hollett on lead vocals and vocalist-instrumentalists Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale playing a variety of instruments. The group performs a mix of original and traditional material and is noted for their three part harmonies, which are sometimes performed a cappella.
The Once's name comes from an old Newfoundland expression which means "as soon as possible", "right away", "directly", or "in a short while".
