Men Of The Deeps (With Matt Minglewood) Savoy Theatre,Glace Bay,N.S. March 21st,2014 Opening ceremonies for the 25th annual Vince Ryan memorial hockey tournament
I saw these guys with Rita years ago in Lethbridge Alberta. They were absolutely amazing👍💃🏻💃🏻💖 My dad mined all over 🇨🇦 for many years. I take my hat off to all the miners for what they did to support their families🙏💙
My mother in law was from a small village in Wales,,,absolutely my favourite mother in law... Father in law brilliant as well,, A Dub and a Welsh woman,, may they rest in peace...both lost brother's in the mines .
I have tears in my eyes remembering my late dad. He was a coal miner too from Indonesia. The site was in Sawahlunto, West Sumatra. He was sent to the Cape Breton once for 3 months. This just makes me sad. God bless for all the coal miners everywhere.
Absolutely a beautiful song.My dad worked in the mines on Bell Island NL.You guys are amazing.Keep up your amazing work .If my dad were alive he would be crying his eyes out.Then he would want to hear all night.R.I.P. Dad🙏❤️
When I was eighteen I went into the hard rock mines in Snow Lake Manitoba. I am always thankful for the way the miners accepted me and taught me safety was premier. I know from experience that mining is about working and dying. My hard-hat is off to the coal miners of Cape Breton the land where I was born. God bless, Guys. Well done!
Love this song. I live in Alberta now. Originally from Cape Breton. I don't get to visit as much as Id like to but watching this really makes me feel proud to be a Cape Bretoner. And its nice to see my Dad (ROY PEACH) on stage with Dipper and Matt... Awesome Job Guys. Love ya.. .
I visit every so often, at least on 9 May, when we should all remember the tragedy at Westray. The song also makes me think of my Grandfather who worked underground and in pit mines at Sudbury, Ontario.
My granddad mined at the deepest pit in England jubilee colliery hamstead england . A striking miner beaten by the police in the 1980 ! He backed down not one inch !, To all who clawed for black diamonds MUCH RESPECT TO YOU ALL X.!
My daddy didn't work the mines, but he did work HARD in a factory, and was burned more than once by molten metal. This is his song. he worked so hard, and has always been a workn man, and I will always be ever so proud of my daddy for providing all he could. he taught me what work ethic is & how you DON'T EVER STOP! YOU MAKE DAMNED SURE YOU & YOURS HAVE WHAT YOU NEED! From a tot, I was by his side working around our home too; cutting & stacking wood, taking cut grass, picking up sticks, anything that needed done. My daddy is why I'm strong!
Our Dad was a farmer a mighty farmer at that, horse ploughing when he was a lad o 13 yrs old he was different breed, hard workin like these miners raised 12 kids he & Mum, we as their kids owe them a great debt......probably one that we were never gonna have enuf yrs to repay.....God bless Mum & Dad xx
O.M.G.what a magnificent rendition of this song. And when the lights went out at the end it really brought it all home. Thinking of my great grandfather James Hall and his brother William Hall who perished in the Kaitangata mine disaster in New Zealand In 1879. And paying heartfelt respect to all those who go down underground.
This is the most beautiful song in the world... But very sad.. it brings tears to my eyes,as I think of my father leaving the house so early in the cold cold winter mornings walking across the little brook (# 12 Mines New Waterford)to go to work.. God Bless ALL the coal Miners , ( and everyone thought this winter was cold) , not in comparison to the cold these Miners had to face every morning to keep food on the table for his wife and kids and family . and R.I.P.Da ..... ♥ PS Matt sounded great as always..
My dad Ronald Dan McLellan use to work in 16 and then 18 pit. Sometimes he would go down when it was dark and it would be dark when he came up. Silicosis; Emphysema and Asthma were his constant companions yet every day he did it again to feed us. Miners were and still are men beyond the norm in courage and perseverance. Perhaps that is why I can never listen to a bow on the fiddle or bagpipes without the tears. It is out of respect and love for all the miners who worked together as a team to get the job done!
Our grandfather Michael Currie and great grandfather John Currie and great uncle Charles were all killed in the mine explosion July 25 1917. Next summer will be a hundred year anniversary and we Michaels grandchildren will be there at 7:00 a.m. to pay our respects to the relatives we never got to meet.
My father doesn't worked in mines... worked at Alcan company in a little city in Québec (Arvida) The working conditions was very hard for him too......
Rita McNeil is the ladies name. I am sure that she took it to her grave with her last year. Her talent is shown in this classic to all the fallen miners in the world. What a lady & her classic song. I can listen to it all day....... RIP Rita dear one.................... Dav. Spirit Lake Idaho, USA. dav2011@msn.com E-mail me if you like.............

So much respect + admiration for these hard-working men.
My father Archie MacLeod was a coal miner in #12
I love how Matt stands back and lets the singer sing and doesn't steal his spotlight when he first comes out
I noticed that, too! Sweet!
That is typical Matt, and majority of Capers. God bless you all byes!
