Born in Australia, Lucas moved to Great Britain in the mid-1960s , where he released his solo debut Overlander in 1966 . Between 1967 and 1969 he was a member of the folk band Eclection. In the late 1960s, Lucas entered into a relationship with Sandy Denny that eventually resulted in Fotheringay .

In mid-1972, Lucas joined Fairport Convention and married Denny in 1973, who returned to Fairport Convention in 1974. It didn't last long there, however; in 1976 both got out again. Their daughter Georgia was born in July 1977. In 1978 Denny suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage after falling down stairs. Lucas married a second time and moved back to Australia, where he died of a heart defect in 1989 .
