Away from the 麻豆社, Noel goes cycling and hill-walking to stay fit, and sings opera and choral music with Castleward Opera and the Belfast Philharmonic Choir.听 He鈥檚 been teaching himself the piano, forty years after he last had a lesson, and he says it鈥檚 the hardest and most frustrating thing he鈥檚 ever undertaken.听 Barry Douglas can relax!
