“Len Ward the Drummer played with the Warriors and backed several names such as Johnny Dankworth and Clio Lane as well as Lulu and Tom Jones. At one time he played with the NDO and finished up at Bernard manning's Embassy Club in Manchester. He gave up playing professionally when he married my mother in 1965. Len still plays odd times and is a great drummer..never lost it..but then again i am biased as he is my dad.”

“My dad is the drummer Len Ward on the far left. I look so like him it's unreal. Dad had such great fun with his band. He was a sessionist drummer also played with many other famous artists. Another group was the warriors. Check the coat dad....great eh? I wish i was a fly on the wall to see him playing.....thanks for uploading. I wonder if any of the others are alive?”

“Look at my dad happy as larry with his beloved drum kit. We have a photo similar to this at home. Dad really has some stories from those days. It's quite touching to see him in his group more than 50 years ago. I really appreicate seeing these pictures. Dad was quite startled, seeing the van picture too he drove brought a smile to his face”
