The Timmins-based rock band Miners and Sons has officially set a Guinness World Record by performing a concert in the world\u2019s deepest base metal mine. Playing at a staggering depth of 9,000 feet below sea level in Glencore’s Kidd Mine, the band surpassed the previous record of 6,200 feet, cementing their place in rock history.<\/p>\n
The concert took place at 9:20 a.m. for an exclusive audience of around 40, including miners, Timmins city officials, and special guests such as Ontario\u2019s Minister of Mines. Band member Jeremy Wilson described the energy of the performance, saying, \u201cFor an early morning gig like this, it was nice to see people bring the energy and enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organizing the event was a monumental task, paying tribute to the dedication of the Kidd Mine team. \u201cThis record-breaking concert reflects the ingenuity and determination of everyone who works here,\u201d said Kidd Mine Manager Dawid Myburgh. The event’s third song paid homage to the iconic Canadian band, The Tragically Hip, sealing the record with a distinctly Canadian touch.<\/p>\n
Guinness World Records adjudicator Tina Shi traveled from Montreal to verify the attempt. \u201cThis is the first time in my Guinness World Records career witnessing an underground concert of this magnitude,\u201d Shi noted, calling it an \u201cexciting and impressive experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miners and Sons have hinted at future record-breaking pursuits, inviting fans to stay tuned for what\u2019s next. This remarkable record, however, may stand for years to come.<\/p>\n
