Any of you fine Yorkshire peeps know if the above Cleckheaton based band are still around or have they given up the ghost?

I think they were mentioned in the recent thread on the Cleckheaton Festival.

Type Cleckheaton or Blackstone Edge in the Digitrad and Forum Search box on the main threads page

Never heard of the band but if you looked out of our back bedroom window when we lived in Smithy Bridge near Littleborough 25 years ago, you could see Blackstone Edge. JohnB

As an "old" Rochdalian myself too, I well remember the place. My uncle had a farm type house up on the moor there. Extremely bleak but still beautiful.
