Snooker ace Jimmy White will visit Brighton at the weekend as he prepares to launch his pop career.
White will take part in a poker tournament at the Rendezvous Casino in Brighton Marina on Saturday as part of the Summer Breeze Festival.
His visit comes days before the release of his new charity single, Minted, which he has recorded with Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones and Steve Monty from the Blockheads.
Half the proceeds from the single will be donated to Children In Need.
White said: "I love Brighton and used to come and visit loads as a child. I play poker at the casino occasionally and it just so happens this time it coincides with the release of the single.
"Being a singer has never really been my bag but when I heard this song I thought I would give it a go. I hope it does well for Children In Need but I certainly have no ambitions to release an album."
