Felix White unites as charity ambassador

Chance to Shine is proud to confirm BBC Tailenders star Felix White as an official charity ambassador.

The Maccabees guitarist, who has co-hosted the popular cricket themed podcast since 2017, is well known for his love of the game.

In 2019 he composed the score for acclaimed documentary ‘The Edge’, and in August this year is due to release his first book - ‘It’s Always Summer Somewhere’ - a powerful account of his life through the lens of cricket.

Felix will lend his support to further raise the profile of Chance to Shine’s work, spreading the joy of cricket to new audiences.

“Cricket has obviously provided a constant sense of meaning and connection in my life so it seems only right that I should share it as much as I can. The work that Chance to Shine do is very inspiring and I am really looking forward to being a part of it.” said White.

Go well, Felix!
