Born in post-war London in the late 40s, into a working-class Anglo-Irish, devout Catholic family where the "Church" was firmly placed centre stage.

Dominic was "banished" to Australia at the age of 20 for having too much fun in the swinging 60s.

There he embarked on a colourful and varied life,fuelled by alcohol and drugs. He was disowned for marrying "outside the Church".

His life became a series of successes and failures with good times and dark times thrown in.

All to the back-drop of a relationship that spans 5 decades, with the love of his life, Inge.
