28, 1952 in Epsom, England) was the
drummer for and a founding member of the progressive
rock band Camel. He was forced to leave
the music business due to personal reasons.

Party". In the 1990s, he worked with Richard

Going, with Hugh Hopper, Richard Sinclair,

post from Ward and then built songs around them playing all the other
instruments himself. He also appeared on a number of Yung's solo
albums. At the same time, Ward played drums on several albums by the Bevis
Frond,as well as yet unreleased studio tracks at Delta Studio,
Canterbury, with Hugh Hopper, Lisa
