With 'Ibiza', his follow-up single (released on Vixen records), he attained very large amounts of airplay in Ireland; this in turn led to several high-profile TV appearances (including RTÉ's Kenny Live show and Nighthawks). Further singles followed, including one produced by Arsenal and Irish International football player John Devine: \"Travelling People\". Dominic has released three albums: Stranger on My Highway (1985), Vagabond Moon (1990) and Diving for Pearls (2004).
