Tributes have been paid to talented Welsh composer Mark Thomas, who was behind the score to Twin Town and major Hollywood movies, who has died aged 70.. Originally from Penclawdd, Mr Thomas was a classically trained multi-instrumentalist proficient in music styles from jazz, rock, folk, choral, electro acoustic, sampled and synthesised, to full-scale symphonic film scores.

After studying music composition and orchestration at university, the former Gowerton Grammar School pupil played violin with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, then joined the Royal Ballet Orchestra as co-leader. He was invited to join the original orchestra for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom Of The Opera, and went on to work in the recording studio with Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, John Barry, Michael Kamen, Alan Silvestri and John Williams.
