  Musicians:  

The Men of the Deeps is a choir of working and retired coal miners from the island of Cape Breton. Organized in 1966 as part of Cape Breton’s contribution to Canada’s Centennial Year (1967), the group’s inception was an effort by the people of Cape Breton to preserve in song some of the rich folklore of the island’s coal mining communities.
