Archives of the Dorset Echo have shown up in newspapers.com recently...almost makes up for my disappointment over the online archives of the Yeovil paper never going beyond 1987. There are some mentions of Polly.

Feb 25 1988 polkats

Jul 9 1988 article doesn't mention her but it's come up here before that Polly was in this band

Aug 25 1988 surprised this made the newspaper

May 6 1993 obligatory profile
