Originally from Australia, he came to the UK in the mid-1960s to work on the traditional folk circuit, and made an obscure and run- of-the-mill traditional folk solo album in 1966, Overlander. From late 1967 to late 1969, the singer-guitarist was in Eclection, a little- known British folk-rock group that made recordings with Elektra. Lucas became romantically involved with Fairport Convention singer Sandy Denny in the late 1960s, and together the pair formed Fotheringay, who made a good folk-rock album in 1970. Despite the group's considerable promise, it folded after that sole LP, when Denny, the biggest talent in the band by far, left for a solo career. Lucas joined Fairport Convention, who at that point had been shorn of all their original members, in mid-1972, with Denny (whom Lucas married in 1973) rejoining the band in early 1974. Both Lucas and Denny left two years later, and in the interim Fairport could hardly have been said to have been at their peak. After Denny's death in 1978, Lucas remarried and moved back to Australia to raise his family, dying of heart failure in 1989. In addition to his work in the bands Fotheringay, Eclection, and Fairport Convention, he also appeared as a guitar and singer on records by the Strawbs, Richard Thompson, Al Stewart, and Stefan Grossman. Lucas also has a relatively detailed wiki here. There's a detailed fan site here with much more by way of memorabilia and career history. (Below: Trevor Lucas, first at Wilson's Prom in 1985, around the time of the making of the film, and then earlier in his career, and then some of his work) Co-composer Ian Mason: When he returned to Australia, Lucas formed a film composing partnership with Ian Mason, and as well as Jenny Kissed Me, they composed the underscore for the 1987 Slate Wyn and Me. Luscas also produced the little-seen horror thriller movie Cassandra. (The pair wrote the underscore and wrote the song Land of the Free, which they performed for the film as Bluey and Curly - two well known newspaper comic strip characters in Australia). At time of writing, Ian Mason can be seen in an excerpt from an hour long TV special called Funny Farms in 1982, when he was working on an album at the northern bush-based studio, the Music Farm, which at one time Mason owned and operated. Mason is also listed on fandalism here, which still had operational clip for a nostalgic 1978 3XY promotional jingle. Mason spent many years in the pop music and advertising jingle game. Early in his career, his band Mason's Cure (keyboards) turned into the film known band Stylus, wiki here , though Mason himself didn't make the transition and left to join The Bootleg Family Band, where he played also keyboards during 1975. In 2010, this short biography appeared as part of a fund raising venture here: Born 1950 in Nagambie, Victoria, raised in Shepparton, Australia, Ian started to play piano from age 5 and completed 11 years of classical piano also learning drums at 10 and guitar and bass. He was lead vocalist and keyboardist for many bands during the 60ʼs and and 70ʼs and during 1972-1980 when he lived in Melbourne he became the highest paid most demanded session- musician/singer in Australia. Ian played or sang on 11 number one hits and toured with most artists. He played with Kush - achieving Hall Of Fame status with the Musicianʼs Union and formed and led his own band “Masonʼs Cure” still remembered today as an original music legend. He was also asked to tour with Little River Band and David Bowie. Ian was also Musical-Director/Arranger/Songwriter for many Australian & International Artists. As one of the most prolific writers of Advertising Music and amongst literally thousands of Jingles and Sound-Design tracks Ian wrote the music for the most successful advertising campaign in the world (still to this day)- The Big M Flavoured Milk Campaign. Ian was a Musical Pioneer of the Byron Bay area and owned and operated “The Music Farm” at Coorabell on the ridge overlooking the bay from 1980-1992. It was the first State of the Art Recording Studio outside the Capital cities in its time and was one of the major four studios of the same technical capability in Australia. During and since The Music Farm Ian has been fortunate to travel the world working with some of the worldʼs finest Musicians including members of Toto,The Doobie Brothers and Pink Floyd. Also to hone his Production skills at some of the finest studios in the world -working in one of the most exclusive-Stevie Wonderʼs “Wonderland” meeting Stevie and being his guest in Las Vegas and Australia. Ian still composes Feature Film Scores and Music for Television, Radio and Advertising, Writes Songs and Produces recordings. Ian at present as Writer/Producer/Composer is Producing his first Feature Film “BLUEY & CURLY Go To Rio”-a Feel-Good Action- Adventure Comedy-Romance with Great Music. Also a TV Series:-“Closure!” with David Galbally AM QC as Host. A variant version of this CV available online adds a final note: Ian has now digitally re-mastered his songs from his archives of recorded material and is now releasing them worldwide complete with photos from the time of the recordings.
