Upon the retirement in 2025, after 37 years together, of ABB, founder member John Holmes has teamed up with ex-Manhattan Slide keyboard player John Ackroyd, ABB drummer Brian Heeley, former Paul Weller bassist Paul Francis, and award winning harmonica player/vocalist Hugh Budden, who was front man of no. 1 UK blues band The Producers, in a new band named Third Degree.


They play a mix of blues, R&B, jump jive and boogie, with the addition of some modern soul. In less than a year together they have delighted audiences in arts centres, theatres and village halls across the South and West of England. This is a band you can listen to or dance to - or both!
