I'm sorry that this post doesn't help directly, but perhaps I can point you towards some possible sources.

The Glamorgan Record Office might well have newspaper cuttings (possibly with photographs), etc, about the band:

It might also be worth contacting a musician by the name of Geoff Eales:

That's because this web site
http://www.123webpages.co.uk/user/index.php?us er=jazzview&pn=1120201
carries an interview with him, where it's stated that his father played with the Aneurin Thomas band. So it's possible that he might have some photographs of the band in his family album.

PS: Aneurin Thomas himself was still able to give a performance on the piano at the age of 99:
