Terence Charles “Snowy” White (born 3 March 1948) is an English guitarist best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, and later Roger Waters. Active across several major eras of British rock, he has built a reputation for his smooth tone, understated style, and melodic phrasing. White also achieved solo success, most notably with his 1983 hit “Bird of Paradise,” which reached the UK Top 10. White was born in Devon, England, and spent his childhood on the Isle of Wight. He began teaching himself guitar at the age of ten after receiving his first instrument from his parents. At seventeen he moved to Stockholm, where he spent more than a year performing with a trio called the Train. In 1968 he acquired the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop that would become his signature guitar throughout his career. By 1970 White had relocated to London, where he worked as a session musician and joined the band Heavy Heart. During this period he met Peter Green, forming a long‑lasting friendship and later contributing to Green’s 1979 album In the Skies. In 1977 White was recommended to Pink Floyd as an additional guitarist for the In the Flesh tour supporting the Animals album. His first recorded contribution for the band was the guitar solo on the 8‑track version of “Pigs on the Wing.” During the tour he also played bass on “Sheep” and performed solos in “Have a Cigar” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part VIII).” After the tour ended in mid‑1977, White contributed guitar parts to Richard Wright’s debut solo album Wet Dream, recorded in early 1978 and released later that year.
