Rhys is the newest member of Snakebite. He joined after he was spotted at a jam night and was immediately bundled into the back of the Snakebus and taken to the Snakepit rehearsal rooms. We then interrogated him to find out which Whitesnake songs he already knew. It turns out that he knew all of them and nearly every other song ever written. He has been known to surprise us by playing unusual songs during rehearsals - ever heard the Benny Hill theme tune on a screaming Les Paul? We Have.
