Speedway were a Scottish pop rock group, who were formed in 2001, by Glaswegians Jill Jackson (lead vocals) and Jim Duguid (drums).
The band acquired three more members in that year, with bass guitarist Tom Swann from Droitwich plus guitarist Dan Sells, now lead singer of The Feeling (the latter of whom was later replaced by Chris Leonard), and signed with Innocent Records in 2002.
[1] The band supported then labelmates Blue on their UK tour in early 2003, played a number of university gigs, and played to over 25,000 people in September 2003 at the KC Stadium in Hull as part of a charity event made by the local radio station, Viking FM.
Jackson later toured the material for an acoustic solo album in support of Nashville, Tennessee singer-songwriter Kevin Montgomery, formed a duo with Irish singer-songwriter Gianna Cassidy called Jackson and Cassidy, and released her first solo album in 2006.
Jackson then worked with her own band; members include Alan Frew (guitar), Carl Taylor (drums) and Lorna Thomas (bass).
