Australian singer known as the lead vocalist in Autumn, a pop music band he confounded in 1969 with Glenn Beatson on drums, Rick Graham on bass guitar, Greg Jacques on organ, and Steve McMurray on guitar. Their cover version of “Yellow River”, released in August 1970, reached No. 1 on the Go-Set National Top 60 along with other versions of the same song recorded by United Kingdom band Christie, fellow Australian band Jigsaw, and English singer Leapy Lee. Autumn had top 40 hits with “Looking Through the Eyes of a Beautiful Girl” (January 1971), “She Works in a Woman’s Way” (February) and “Falling” (May). They released two albums, Song to Raymondo and Comes Autumn, both in 1971 before disbanding in the UK early in the following year.
After splitting, Romeril lived in Italy for a few years, where he recorded material as Andy Foxx. Graham and Romeril reformed Autumn in Sydney in 1976 with James Caulfield on keyboards, Dave Hallard on guitar, and Con Westaberg on drums; but disbanded soon after. Autumn reunited for a tribute, benefit concert, Gimme Ted in March 2001 in support of contemporary singer-songwriter, Ted Mulry. Their performances appeared on a 2×DVD video album, Gimme Ted – The Ted Mulry Benefit Concerts (May 2003). Romeril curated the re-release of Autumn’s second album, Come Autumn (July 2010), on CD via Aztec Music.
In 2015 Romeril released a tribute album, Will You Remember Me: a Tribute to Ted Mulry… Songwriter, he sang on five of its thirteen tracks, which were written by Mulry. He also engineered and produced the album.
