Men of the Deeps 60th Anniversary

DIAMOND SUNSET: 60 Years of Song & StoryThe Men of the Deeps first raised their voices together in 1966, but the friendships and hardships that initially bound them were born in the tunnels beneath the Cape Breton coastline. Men, shaped by the pressure of a life lived underground, where the daylight couldn’t reach. But now, the industry that shaped them is no more, and so they stand and sing in reflection, gratitude, and quiet pride. But no sunset falls without a dawn, and so, in the same way, their stories and songs are passed forward, evolving, always finding new beginnings. In their 60th Anniversary year, Cape Breton’s own coal miners’ chorus remembers those men whose lamps have all gone down and honours those who still carry the light forward. Sharing the stories they’ve lived and singing about life underground. We invite you to share in a sixty-year legacy that continues to shine on, not in coal, but in memory,community, story, and song.
