Wonderful job singing of some of Canada’s valuable history. I saw you last night in Keswick and I was so pleased that I was one of the young’uns that saw you sing and harmonize together. I’ve never been east of Montreal, but know that when I get there- the people will be friendly and welcoming like all you fine gentlemen. Thank you and Thank you for sharing. Diana pst.. when are you coming back again??

Just saw your concert last night in Keswick. It was just fabulous. We took three friends who have never seen a show before (we saw you in Barrie a few years back). They are hooked and we are awaiting next years schedule. We will be at one of yours show’s probably with a bigger party. Keep up the good work. You bring such joy and appreciation for miners and the ordinary working people. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Guestbook Entry:

Thank you so much for your concert last night in Sarnia. It’s the first time I have been able to attend any of your concerts, and I enjoyed every minute of your performance, and will be looking forward to a return visit from you. What a lot of fellowship you must have enjoyed over the years of singing together. Your singing brought back many memories for me of that other Land of Song and Coal Mines – South Wales, home of many male voice choirs. (I think there used to be one in every mining town, and concerts and singing festivals were a part of the fabric of every community.) All the instrumentalists were excellent too, but I especially enjoyed the harmonica – I don’t think I’ve ever heard it played with so much feeling. I had never before thought of Cape Breton as a land of song, but I think I will from now on. Men of the Deeps, keep on singing!! God Bless you all. Dilys Denning

Guestbook Entry:

I saw the Men of the Deeps concert in OAKVILLE, Ontario last night. I must say I was impressed with what I heard and saw last night. I also had a chance to talk to one of the singer’s last night after the concert. It was a chance to personalize the experience for myself as I know of an individual that was personally trapped and recovered from that mining incident in SPRINGHILL in the 1950’s. Personally they never talked about their experience but the songs last night certainly reinforce on how dangerous their work is but well aware of the risks involved in this line of work. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Saw your concert last night in Oakville as a guest of my daughter Harmony. What a magical evening. The tears started rolling the minute The Men started singing their way down the aisle, by the light only of their mining lights. My grandfather was a Cape Breton coal miner and it was incredibly special to sit with my 21 year old daughter, gaining a glimpse of the trials, dangers, and enduring spirits of the men who toil underground for a living. It is our roots and we loved every second of the comedy, music and emotion. Well done. You make us all so proud to be Canadian!

When I was home for Christmas this year I heard that the choir was going to be breaking up. Is this true?!!??? I can’t imagine there not bing a Men of the Deeps. My uncle Robbie (MacLeod) was in the chior. The last time I saw him before he passed was on a Rita MacNeil special a few years back. I always enjoyed catching a glimpse of him when you were performing. (Shane too). If the choir is breaking up / retiring will you be making any stops in Toronto? I see one in Oakville coming in April but it’s a little far to get to. Have a Happy New Year & all the best to your families.

The first time that I heard the track “Emigrant Eyes”, it made me think back to when my parents emigrated from Holland. It made me realize the hardships that people went through in their journey and when they arrived at their “new” homeland. With all the songs, they present a strong visual story for the mind to view. All the music is touching to the soul for the hardships of miners.

Guestbook Entry:

Hi Nipper, Just wanted to tell you my girlfriend and I saw Rita MacNeil in Winnipeg tonight and really missed The Men of the Deeps. It just wasn’t the Christmas treat we envisioned–we were even seated in the 2nd row and last year were in row 7. At the end of the evening last year you guys stood and greeted concert goers in the portal we came through tonight. And to this day I really regret not just “busting” through to shake your hands ansd say Merry Christmas. So, this year I decided to wish you, Nipper, and all the Men a Happy Holiday season. Shall continue to check your website and hope to see Winnipeg on the list. I’ll be front row for sure. Just love your music. I’m retired and volunteer at a local vintage railway and help with maintenance on a 1958 diesel locomotive so I know what “dirt” job is !!!! And isn’t that what mining is all about???? Dirt and grime!!!!!!! Again, Merry Christmas to all of you and thanks for bringing such joy to others through music!!! Best Wishes, Barbara Knecht, Winnipeg

Hey guys, Sorry it’s taken so long to respond, but it’s been real hectic with work and such. Anyway, still think of my SMOKIN BUDS” outside the hotel in Halifax the first week of October before you guys left for NFLD. Anyway, please update your concert schedule for next year, I’d love to attend when you come to Barrie. Marshall, say hello to the guys I remember, Sen, Shane, and anyone else I’ve missed. Bad with names unfortunately. Loved the CD Their Lights Will Shine!! It’s the best. Take care, have a wonderful Xmas to all. Look forward in hearing from you. Christine (nee Brown) from New Waterford.
