Men of the Deeps chorus perform “Trapper Boy”

We recently discovered a smart-phone recording of Cape Breton’s famous coal miners chorus, Men of the Deeps, performing Hugh MacDonald’s song “Trapper Boy” on stage at the Miners Museum in Glace Bay, NS. Years ago, Hugh was inspired to write the song by family stories of working in the mines. In turn, the song inspired Hugh to write the novel, Trapper Boy.

You can link to the Men of the Deeps’ performance (YouTube) here.

Link here to the Trapper Boy page and in turn to interviews with Hugh MacDonald, his own music video, “Trapper Boy” and, of course, to buy the book.
