==Background==
Toms was raised in the Meirionethshire slate quarry community of Tanygrisiau near Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales. Son of ex-quarryman / heavy goods driver / bus driver Robert Meurig Thomas and school caretaker Margaret Gwenda, younger brother of Elaine. On his 13th birthday, Toms taught himself to play guitar on his sister's Spanish guitar.
At secondary school, Ysgol y Moelwyn, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Toms was a keen footballer but music quickly overthrew his passion for sport. Toms and his friends were musically motivated by the bands of the time, especially Welsh-language bands such as Mistecs, Cylchoed Hud, Ffa Coffi Pawb and Hanner Pei. Popular mainstream indie bands also influenced them e.g. Stone Roses, EMF. With all these influences Toms and friends decided to form a band, Anweledig. Anweledig's music was eclectic to say the least, early songs we're 90's indie rock but as they experimented and broadened their musical preferences, they developed a (Music ) sound with strong () and () influences.
