Title
John McFadden - a once famous street-singer
Description
The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

John McFadden

You may heap much praise on Templeton
John Wilson and the rest -
Douglas Young and Kennedy -
but I'll tell you who's the best;
that's canny John McFadden.
You can put him to the test
When John gives us "Gala Water"
even Burns would be impressed!
