Richard Thomas was born and raised in South Wales and took up residence in London in 1997.

Gaining a reputation as a contending improviser and abstract composer, he has (since his first album) gone on to work with an impressive amount of luminaries such as The Wormholes and Squarepusher to name just two (the list would fill this page).

Utilising almost everything he can lay his hands on- you name it, it's probably been used in some form or other - drumkit, melodica, toys, clocks, transducers, self-made instruments - the list is endless.

Thomas is a member of several groups: Chocolate Sandwich, The Bohman Brothers Extended Family, Hairy Butter, and is also conductor of the Hairy Butter Acoustic Orchestra.

Was previously in the Newport band Guinea Worm. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
