Song: Five Aces
By McClelland and Fitzgerald

We're always delighted to bring you something slightly different from the norm and in recent weeks have brought you a floral display and then poetry. This week we break new ground with the first speedway related song we've ever featured.

"Five Aces" was inspired by the photographs of the legendary Hyde Road stadium that Kathy Hitchen provided to Speedway Plus some years ago. These evoked strong memories for singer/songwriters McClelland and Fitzgerald and they were inspired to produce this haunting piece.

"Five Aces" is a tribute to Belle Vue and the Speedway fan in general. Hope, despair, loyalty - it's all there - stylistically giving a little nod to Mancunian singer/songwriter Morrissey.

Plug your headphones into your pc and be taken back to the romance of speedway's sacred lost ground.

This is taken from McClelland and Fitzgerald's upcoming 6 track E.P. "Hyde Rd Rangers".
