60s band from Watford, U.K. group who recorded for Parlophone Records though they appeared at The Town Hall minus contract as their first single "The Climb" did not appear until January 1964.
3 more Parlophone 45's followed, including a cover version of The Platters "Twilight Time" and their final release, 1965's "A Bucketfull Of Love" but they never threatened to trouble the charts with their particular brand of beat music.
Tony Bolton & The Federals were one of those bands incorrectly labelled under the "Comedy/Vocal/Instrumental" umbrella.
