For nearly sixty years, Cape Breton’s Men of the Deeps have been travelling the globe as Canadian Ambassadors, singing, dancing and storytelling their way into hearts and minds. A choir of retired coal miners, preserving and celebrating a unique way of life, history and culture. The men sing about the stories they’ve lived, giving us a sense of what life was like when coal was king. The choir has toured throughout Canada and most of the United States, China and Kosovo. They have been to the Northwest Territories and as far south as Arizona, Alabama, Florida and the Appalachian coal mining communities of Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania. They have even performed in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Today, the Men of the Deeps are much more than just a singing group; they are a social institution. The camaraderie amongst the members carries over to their audiences wherever they perform. Clad in authentic mining coveralls and hard hats, they make an impressive impact when they enter a concert hall in total darkness using only the lamps on their helmets for light.
