Thanks

A spokesperson told 4BR: "Everyone involved in the Kibworth Band would like to go on record and express their thanks to Ted for his commitment to us over many years.

Although he will still be around supporting the band through its busy programme, his hard work behind the scenes will be greatly missed. Ted has now been appointed as one of the band’s vice-presidents and a concert is to be given in his honour later in the year."
