English guitarist

Terence Charles "Snowy" White (born 3 March 1948) is an English guitarist, known for having played with Thin Lizzy (permanent member from 1980 to 1982) and with Pink Floyd (as a backing guitarist; he was first invited to tour with the band through Europe and the United States in 1977, and during The Wall shows in 1980), and more recently, for Roger Waters' band.

Terence Charles White was born on 3 March 1948 in Devon, England. He grew up on the Isle of Wight and was self taught as a guitarist, having received his first guitar from his parents at the age of ten. He moved to Stockholm in 1965 at the age of seventeen, spending more than a year there playing in a trio called the Train. In 1968 he purchased his signature guitar, a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop.

White made his way to London by 1970, and found work as a session player and as a member of Heavy Heart. During this time he met Peter Green and the two began a lifelong friendship (he later appeared on Green's album In the Skies). White had been recommended to Pink Floyd by Kate Bush's former manager Hilary Walker, as they were looking for an additional guitarist for the live band on the In the Flesh tour in 1977 to promote the Animals album. White's solo on "Pigs on the Wing" (8 track version only), was his first time playing for the band. During the tour, White started off the show by playing bass guitar on the song "Sheep", as well as soloing during "Have a Cigar" and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond Part VIII". Following the tour, which ended in July 1977, White played guitar on Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright's debut solo album Wet Dream, recorded in January–February 1978 and released in September 1978. In 1979 Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham, having seen White play with Pink Floyd in New York City during the Animals tour, approached him about joining Thin Lizzy. Due to health issues, he announced his retirement from playing live in 2019. In 2020, he released the album Something On Me.
