Does anyone know what became of Polly Brown? Last I heard (and I mean

20 years ago) she was extremely ill with a form of total allergy

No, Polly never had Total Allergy Syndrome. That's another urban myth!
I think it was Maggie Farran (who briefly fronted a band in the mid
'70s called New Pickettywitch) who had that illness, certainly not
Polly. I don't know what came of Maggie, but last I heard (a year or
two ago), Polly was alive and well. She released solo recordings well
into the 80s on the independent Witch label. Some of these (together
with 'Puff of Smoke' and some Pickettywitch hits) appeared on an RPM compilation CD in 1995 - 'Bewitched: The Polly Browne Story', and more recently Polly had some involvement in the release of the Sanctuary CD compilation 'That Same Old Feeling: The Complete Recordings' which
features all Pickettywitch's self-titled 1970 album as well as all
their A & B sides. Sleeve notes are great, and feature recent comments
from Polly. In fact both CDs are a must for Polly fans. There was talk
of Sanctuary releasing more of her solo recordings on CD for the first
time, but nothing's happened yet.
