He was often referred to by his nickname "Hanna".

Widely regarded as one of the country's finest rock guitarists, he was best known for his long collaboration with singer-songwriter Ross Wilson, which began as teenagers, with The Pink Finks and forming the seminal early '70s Australian rock band Daddy Cool.

Hannaford died of cancer after being diagnosed a year earlier.

Ross Andrew Hannaford was born in Newcastle on 1 December 1950, his family moved to Melbourne one year later.

1970

After a short stint in the UK, Wilson returned to Australia and reunited with Hannaford ca. 1970 in the even more avant garde Sons of the Vegetal Mother, which embodied Wilson's enthusiasm for the music of Frank Zappa.

This band eventually evolved into Daddy Cool, which had started out as an informal offshoot of the Vegetals but soon overtook it.

After the release of their hugely successful debut single "Eagle Rock" and their debut LP Daddy Who? Daddy Cool, the band became one of the most popular and successful rock acts of the decade, breaking all previous sales records for an Australian act.

Hannaford's unique guitar stylings won wide praise from critics and his goofy stage presence, distinctive baritone voice and trademark 'helicopter' cap made him a favourite with fans.

He also wrote several of the group's songs and co-designed the sleeve of their second album, Sex, Dope, Rock'n'Roll: Teenage Heaven.

During the mid-1970s Ross became a devotee of Satguru Maharaj Ji and the Divine Light Mission.
