UPI – An Ontario band ventured deep into the earth, performing a concert in a mine to set a Guinness World Record for the deepest underground performance.
The group, Miners & Sons, delivered their set an impressive 8,086 feet and 11.31 inches below sea level, inside the Kidd Mine in Timmins, Canada.
“This mine has spent 68 years taking rock out of that place, and then spent one day bringing it back,” percussionist Norm Dwyer quipped to MyTimminsNow.
The previous record of 6,213 feet, 3.05 inches was played by a band called the Shaft Bottom Boys at Vale’s Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario, in 2020.
