Farewell JR Shares ‘Night Wolves’ Video Ahead Of EP Release
Directed by Feel Good Lost, the new clip is a heart-wrenching, monochrome tale.

Cambridge musician Farewell JR has shared a new video for his ‘Night Wolves’ song, set to appear on a debut EP through Talking Shop records.
Nick Rayner’s first EP comes after a flurry of emerging details back in 2012. Since then we’ve gained little doubt that he’s going places, but this is the first Farewell JR video to date.
Directed by the Feel Good Lost team of Brendan Canty and Conal Thomson, it’s a video that documents both the despair and courage shown by those who lose their fathers, a process which Rayner links to his recent family experience of Alzheimer’s disease. “I was hugely inspired by the incredible strength and bravery [of my friends] to deal with such a difficult situation at such a young age and their courage to rise from it with such reprise and grace was a massive inspiration to me,” he says in a press release.
