I did some research and I believe this band is the “Newfoundland Kitchen Party” Lead singer is Gary Drover, Glenn Greene is on accordion, Glenn Foster on banjo, Brock Laing on bass, and guest fiddler John Dezamba. Likely recorded by Jan Turney in Kingston Ontario. The band reformed later into the “Shores of Newfoundland” and featured a young Christopher Joseph Murphy who you can find now as the lead singer of “Turpin’s Trail”, and are well worth it to look up. This is where I got the information from. This has also been my favourite version for many years.
I strongly suspect this is from the band "Newfoundland Kitchen Party" on their album "Rebels, Rogues & Pirates". I have 3 versions of this song I found on my computer downloaded from over 20 years ago, all labeled differently. One is labeled this band. I can find the track listing, and its on there. the length of the track is the same. but the only recording I can find attributed to this band ANYWHERE is on youtube, a different song, but the voice and such sounds like a match. ua-cam.com/video/-oweNiqGJ0g/v-deo.html
I thought this was the Pogues. I have this exact version on my IPOD which I purchased and it lists the band as the Pogues?? Whatever band does this version - it is the best I have ever heard.
I believe its a band called "newfoundland kitchen party" but good luck find their album. I've been doing the research, this is the most likely candidate.
Stan Rogers spent in summers in Nova Scotia. Other songs he wrote about Nova Scotia are Bluenose, Barrett’s privateer, watching the apples grow, fisherman’s wharf and Acadian Saturday night.
This isn't Stan Rogers, it's also not The Pogues and Dubliners which it's sometimes attributed to.

The Old Man of the North I wish I knew. There is no known artist of this version. Its like some guys just walked into a studio with no one in it, recorded this song and left it at the table for the producer to find. Its a mystery no one seems to know.
@@theoldmanofthenorth4847 - I believe this is The Pogues - a Celtic punk band who have some hits you would recognize. I have this version on my Ipod titled The Pogues Unknown Album. It is a great cover tune!
@Byrnzie400 - I bet the Pogues would do a great cover of this song....it sounds like them to me but I don't think the question as to who it actually is has been solved.
@@kaytris well, you may be right there, I'm no expert. BUT nevertheless when you Google "Stan Rogers - Farewell to Nova Scotia," you find a lot of sites linking to this video as his rendition of it? So if nothing else it's a reliable way to find this version.

I might be from New Brunswick but after a couple drinks this song certainly brings in some emotions.
Flew out of Nova Scotia this morning. Spent 8 months there. Farewell to that bonnie bonnie lass that I do adore!
Once a bluenoser always a bluenoser 💙🙏

Right on! Definitely the best version of this song.

Stan Rogers
@@BB-kg5mk Not Stan Rogers.. This is the Irish Descendants
Who are the three flatlanders that gave this a thumbs down?
Not I Cape Bretoner (Nova Scotian if you want to call me that)

Hello Mr The Old Man of The North You Love UA-cam The Jose Martins The Rio 3 German Berlin

This is the Stan Rogers version.
@@blackleaf199x i see no concrete evidence its him, nor is it his voice. this version gets attributed to a lot of folks.

Who does this version ? It's awesome
Stan Rogers. Considered to be the official version.

With all the power of the interwebs, no one can verify who did this?
Irish Descendants. Saw them many several times perform this live in, wait for it, Halifax, Nova Scotia

It was listed as the Irish Rovers but apparently it isn't them - and it isn't the Pogues either as someone else suggested
