A RESEARCHER has asked Observer readers for their help in finding out more information on a Rochdale band who were big in the early 1970s.

John Wharton is researching the Krulim festival, named after a small Pennine settlement near Barkisland in Calderdale.

He says a Rochdale band, Honeydew, performed at the festival in August 1970 and he would like to track down band members.

He can be contacted on 01422 205968, or via email at john.whart@mypostoffice.co.uk
