What people say about Debs music:

'Quiver lipped acoustic folk from Newcastle' 
Time Out, London

'...you realise how this music has elevated your sympathy, for in the silence that follows, you feel that the sound is still there, like a phantom limb.'
Tom Hollingworth, NARC Magazine

'....actually very beautiful, haunting and other worldly....I am a fan of what she is doing' 
Simon Raymonde, Bella Union Records/Cocteau Twins

'So beautiful....great atmosphere to it'
Lisa Hannigan, Musician

'I like your rework a lot, I'm so grateful it reaches my ears'
Nils Frahm, Musician

‘…artwork of immense depth..…a brilliant performance, an emotional kaleidoscope of rare beauty’
David Klavins, Pianist & Piano Maker
Creator of the Una Corda, M370 and M450 pianos

'Warm and engaging music from an exceptional musician and visual artist....the result is both fascinating and painfully honest.’                                                                               Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music 

'Dark, cinematic, and imbued with a miasma of mysterious melancholy, it conjures up moonlight walks and more than a hint of Edgar Allen Poe'
Andy Von Pip, Von Pip Musical Express

'It’s the sort of stuff where you'd just want to put on a  whole album and let yourself be part of that space'
Kathryn Tickell, Musician
