Shortly following the release of her debut studio album, One House Left Standing (1972), Hamill went on her first UK tour, supporting John Martyn.
She performed at the Concert 10 festival in the United States, July 1972, before a crowd of 200,000.
By 1973, she had toured the United States with Procol Harum and Jethro Tull, and returned to Britain to record her next studio album, October (1973), at Manor Studio in Oxfordshire.

In the early 1980s she worked with Wishbone Ash, appearing as a guest performer on their studio albums Just Testing (1980) and Number the Brave (1981) and joining the group for their 1981–82 tour.
In 1980, she released a single called "First Night in New York", which gained favourable reviews.
She formed a group, Transporter (which took its name from Tees Transporter Bridge), which released one single.
By the mid-1980s, Hamill had reinvented herself as a new-age artist, which gained her commissions from the BBC and Channel 4.
In 1981, she appeared on the Jon and Vangelis studio album The Friends of Mr Cairo and also sang with British jazz/funk/fusion group Morrissey–Mullen, appearing on their fourth studio album Life on the Wire (1982).
In 1983, Hamill recorded a cover version of Gene Pitney's "24 Hours from Tulsa", produced by the American musician Richard Niles.
Another single, "If You Would Only Talk to Me", suffered from a lack of radio exposure.

Four tracks ("Glastonbury (Jerusalem)", "Tides", "Spring: Awaken Lark Rise" and "Stars") were issued as the Domesday EP on Coda Records, a label featuring many new-age artists and run by her then-husband Nick Austin.
After the next studio album, Love in the Afternoon, she recorded a version of Johann Pachelbel's Canon in both instrumental and vocal versions, the latter featuring her own words as "Someday We Will All Be Together".
Her song "You Take My Breath Away" from The Lost & the Lovers was previously covered by Tuck & Patti on 1988's Tears of Joy and that version caught the attention of American singer Eva Cassidy, whose recording of the track reached number 54 on the UK Singles Chart in October 2003.
Both this and the Voices album were used extensively by Channel 4 for a series of music videos collectively titled The Art of Landscape and shown every morning in the early 1990s.
The video for the instrumental version of Canon, with scenes of Antarctic penguins, was voted by viewers as the favourite.
In 1992, Hamill went to live in Hastings, found a new partner in Andrew Warren, and later cut a new studio album called Summer at the end of the decade.
Since then, she has released The Lost & the Lovers and a compilation album.
