The Burlington Performing Arts Centre
A choir of working and retired coal miners from the island of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the Men of the Deeps finally return to The Burlington Performing Arts Centre’s Main Stage! Their musical repertoire is gathered from mining communities around the world – many of their songs are home-grown, composed by contemporary Cape Breton bards, or traditional songs which trace their roots to their Celtic ancestors. In 1999 the Men of the Deeps toured Ontario and the eastern United States with popular Cape Breton singer and songwriter, Rita MacNeil. The Men of the Deeps remain bound together by their experiences in the coal mines and their love of song. An authentic and memorable show like no other!
