Ward says he is still with Glasgow Police

Within minutes of the Glasgow Police making the bombshell announcement that it had dismissed 23-year Lead-Drummer Eric Ward, Ward was resolute in maintaining that the decision was not made in accordance to band protocol. “All this was done without consultation or knowledge from the band and drum corps,” Ward said, but in the end all parties moved on, Glasgow Police appointing David Henderson as its new L-D and Ward signing on with Bleary & District.
