Ian's introduction to 'In Defence Of Faiths' on stage:
"Here's a piece dedicated in a way to our Prince of Wales, Prince Charles who, as you know, manages to pretty much fuck up his life at every possible twist and turn. But, he did say something, sensible some months ago, when he referred to himself.... In English tradition, the Prince Of Wales is the 'Defender Of The Faith', but he said he would prefer to be 'Defender Of The Faiths', in plural. And I thought that was pretty good, for him, and we decided to call this piece 'In Defence Of Faiths'. Well done, Prince Charles! Let's hear it for Prince Charles! Hey, what do you think of Prince Charles? Do you think he's a good guy, or a bad guy? Let's hear it from those who think he's a good guy. Let's hear it from those who think Prince Charles is a bad guy. Well, this is a little embarrassing, because I have the great pleasure of introducing to you: His Royal Highness, the Prince Of Wales! Hey, just kidding. That would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? Okay; right; 'In Defence Of Faiths'."
