Joe O'Byrne directing rehearsals on STRAWBERRY JACK: Pic by BEN MOTTERSHEAD
THE GEMINI MANThe Gemini Man is a song I have written for the next play in the series TORCH, it's a song that will be sang live in the production by Stella Grundy who will be playing the part of NULA CHRISTIE: The Queen of Clubs singing in THE ACE OF SPADES Nightclub, the club owned by Paradise Loan Shark Frank Morgan. You will HEAR it in STRAWBERRY JACK.
STRAWBERRY JACK introduces us to that club, or at least the outside of it, you'll see much more of it in TORCH. The song has had a simply wonderful melody put to it by THE TANGLED MAN - a musical artist working in and around Manchester, it will be re-recorded tonight obviously now with Stella on vocal.
Here is the rough recorded version of the song with the vocal by THE TANGLED MAN.

STRAWBERRY JACK: A Tale from Paradise Heights - Finally a SYNOPSIS
So what's it all about...?
'Deuces are wild – not One Eyed Jacks…'
Strawberry Jack Grundy was a wild child that grew into a ferocious man. Once the War Horse of Paradise Heights, recent events have stacked the deck firmly against the One Eyed Jack of The Ace of Spades Nightclub. He is a now a fading shadow of the man he once was.
But the rescue of a girl on the mean streets of Paradise Heights thrusts Jack into a situation he has never faced before, untapped feelings stir, and a frozen heart begins to melt. But One Eyed Jacks aren’t always lucky; someone wants Jack dead by Christmas. They say Christmas is a time for Angels…a time for miracles.
Well Jack may have found his Angel. Now all he needs is a miracle…
