Terry Hannagan, whose varied musical undertakings encompassed writing TV jingles, providing the incidental music for a surfing film 'Morning of the Earth', MC-ing and playing at the Folk Centre, PACT and elsewhere, teaching at youth clubs and Arts centres, initially spent a couple of years hitch-hiking throughout northern NSW and Queensland with fellow-performer Peter Woodward, eking out an existence labouring and performing.
“In those days my enthusiasm outweighed my technique by about 9 to 1, and I never thought about making a living out of music”, he later confessed. Remembered as a “loveable rogue”, Hannagan released a well-received album on EMI, 'Tired from the Trip', in 1971. Despite critical acclaim, the respect of his peers and being issued on the now collectable prog label Harvest (Pink Floyd/Spectrum etc), Terry only recorded two singles, ''It's All Over Now, Baby Blue / A Song For Alex'' (also on Harvest) and ''Ballad Of Bundemar / 14 Million People'' for WEA in 1980 that didn't make the cut and was never released; however, he did provide several songs as well as harmonies to Doug Parkinson's debut solo album 'No Regrets'.
