Jack Lemm was a household name in Wales between the wars, famed as a boxer and the Strongest Man in Wales, a Music Hall act and a Fairground sensation. But behind the scenes he fought a different fight - against the disapproval of his father.

THE WELSH HERCULES tells the story of Jack, from his humble beginnings on Swansea Docks through to becoming a renowned boxing coach and fairground star. It takes him through two World Wars, as a survivor of the Battle of Jutland and the Swansea Blitz, and introduces a whole new world of showmen, acrobats and colourful characters.

But at its heart, Jack's story is one of family - of the challenges met, the hearts won and the enduring romance of a Showman and his wife.
