Lineup for the forthcoming appearances by The Three Degrees:

Helen Scott  has been diagnosed with long Covid  and will be replaced by Tabitha Kingfor her 2022 shows, who will make her debut alongside longtime members Valerie Holiday and Freddi Poole.

The Three Degrees are celebrating 50th Anniversary Tour with original member Valerie Holiday. When you hear the name, The Three Degrees, you immediately think of their most famous song, 'When Will I See You Again', and the vision of three beautiful ebony women, perfectly coordinated in both their dance routines and their vocal harmonies. True, 'When Will I See You Again' was a major hit record throughout the world, topping the chart in the U.S.A., the U.K., Japan and most European countries, earning the trio every conceivable accolade at the time — not to mention enough Gold records to make Fort Knox a little envious! More than two decades on, the threesome have retained all three of their major qualities — their beauty, their sparkling choreography and their precise vocal qualities. And, in between, they have amassed an impressive list of hit records.
