Terence Charles White (born March 3, 1948 in Devon, England) (known professionally as Snowy White), is an English guitarist. Self-taught from the age of ten, he moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1965 to play in trio The Train, journeying to London to join Heavy Heart, before he was invited to join Pink Floyd in 1977 on their Animals tour, performing several solos including âSheepâ and âShine on You Crazy Diamond Part VIIIâ. Attracting the attention of Thin Lizzy in 1979, White was invited to join the band as a full time guitarist, where he stayed for three years, writing the albums Chinatown (1980) and Renegade (1981) and performing on Life (1983) before leaving the band to release solo effort White Flames (1983) spawning the hit âBird of Paradiseâ which peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1984. This was followed by Snowy White (1984) and That Certain Thing (1987) as well as two albums under the name Snowy Whiteâs Blues Agency: Change My Life and Open for Business in 1988 and 1989, respectively. The following year, White was approached by Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters to perform at The Wall Concert in Berlin and by 1996 had formed his own blues rock band, Snowy White & the White Flames, recording eleven albums and releasing six compilations including Goldtop: Groups & Sessions â74-â94, named after Whiteâs beloved Gibson Les Paul Goldtop Standard guitar, featuring material from various personal projects as well as his collaborations with Thin Lizzy and Pink Floyd. In 2006 and 2010, White toured with Roger Waters on his The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall Live world tours, featuring also on the live album: Roger Waters: The Wall.
