Seems to be Nazareth related from what I can find.....

Whether or not Dalton was involved I'm not sure - given that Dalton seems to have been born & played in Southern England - this may be an erroneous assumption that Mark Five was related to Mark IV
"In a gesture of defiance, and self-publicity, guitarist Manny Charlton and The Mark Five, emulated the Jarrow Marchers by demonstration marching all the way from Edinburgh to London. By the time of reaching Market Harborough Fontana offered a “record deal”. However following the release of 'Baby What's Wrong’ Manny Charlton explains, in the end this only aggravated Jock/Sassenach music-biz tensions even more: "We made a record and came against the machine in London. The people just cashed in on the publicity we had and after the record was made we were forgotten.""
