In my other life, I am a member of a formal choir. One of my friends in this choir comes from Belfast, Northern Ireland - a city I have only ever driven through, and he moved to London some years ago. Whilst chatting to this friend, oddly enough in Denmark of all places, we discovered that we both knew a guy called Mike through completely different circles - him from the cycling scene and me from the folk music scene. My friend recognised my description of Mike through the violently coloured shirts and ties he used to wear.
