Jax was in a lot of bands before joining Girlschool in 1999 - her first band was called "The Parasites" (with her younger brother on bass), then "Deja Vu" (she moved to London with them, but they split up soon), then she joined the band "Bleech" before forming an all-girl one called "Virago".. in 1995 she met Kim and the rest is The School story, however, beside Girlschool, Jackie also plays in Blitzkrieg the punk band.
