Melville John Galley (8 March 1948 – 1 July 2008) was an English guitarist, best known for his work with Whitesnake, Trapeze, Finders Keepers and Phenomena.

While a member of Whitesnake, he badly injured his arm in an accident at a fairground in Germany and had to leave the band, as he was unable to play the guitar because of nerve damage as a result of incompetent surgery.

Together with his brother Tom Galley and Wilfried Rimensberger, he was a founding member of Phenomena[2] where his songwriting and guitar playing skills had a major impact on its success.

On 7 February 2008 Galley revealed that he was suffering from oesophageal cancer, and had only a short time to live.

I am thankful that I can say a proper goodbye to all the friends I have made, who are now rallying round me".Galley died on 1 July the same year at the age of 60.
