In a brief autobiography the Canadian singer-songwriter Vera Johnson writes about her first visit to London in 1966:
"One of the people I met was Meg, the Queen of the Street Singers. She took me out busking that first day, singing under the arches, and it wasn't long before I lost my voice. Meg had a strong soprano voice, beautifully clear and resonant. (If you saw the movie Darling, I understand she was featured at the end.)"
