Ray Holland is my grandfather and i don’t tell him enough how proud i am of him and how much respect i have for him and you guys!The Men of The Deeps sing sometimes silently like a weathered rock does to the ocean.A rock that has seen many tides change, many storms,but the longer it’s there the more beautiful, well rounded and wise it becomes. ……the the child walks along the shore and searches for that perfect rock, finds it,and launches it out into the ocean not because he wants to throw it away…. but because it is perfect!That is why you are loved so much,not just for your talent but for your struggle and perseverance and the beauty of rising above it all!The Voice of the heart of Cape Breton! For each rock thrown into the ocean there my friend is a man of the deep,perfect ,wise and ready to tell a story to the ocean of people who want to hear it! Not to stray from the story, but to make it complete my son recently received three Men of The Deep’s cd’s from his grandfather and plays them all the time in the car with me.We all sing along……it really brings me back and makes me proud when i can tell my son,yes son,thats your grandfather.He doesn’t know the story of it all,but then it prompts me to tell him……and the memory of it all continues! Keep the tradition alive because you are all there is left!Pass it on to your children,because when they are far away from home it warms their heart and gives them hope that if someone in a struggle such as yours can come out on top… then may be all of Cape Breton can! ps.tell the MUCK I’m still waiting for him to take me fishing.I’ve been waiting for 20 years.TO my poppie of course, you are my rock and always have been,couldn’t be more proud.Just thought someone should tell you since you’ve been singing silently for so long.LOVE YAH!You have my respect not because your my grandfather but because you deserve it! Anyways All the best boys,love ya ! Oh Yeah I’m still working on that leather chair poppie ,hope you forgive me! The home of our hearts Cape Breton! Sing one for me!

Hi guys, Excellent music. Just wondering if you will ever do a tour to Australia or not? We have a lot of coal mines over here and I reckon the miners would like to hear your music!

Hi – my wife and I caught the concert on Tuesday in Glace Bay. We enjoyed it tremendously. My father is from Glace Bay and he has always spoke highly of the choir. Now, I understand why.
