Debbie has been nominated for two Ivor Novello Awards for Wilde and Death Of Yugoslavia, and has won a TRIC Award for The Good Guys and an RTS Award for Warriors. In 2007 she was awarded the Gold Badge of Merit by the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters.
Her album of music to accompany the fairy stories of Oscar Wilde, on the Warner Classics and Jazz label, was nominated for a Grammy Award and was then made into a trilogy of animated films – Wilde Stories - for Channel 4. In Classic FM’s Top 100 2010 Movie Music Chart, Debbie’s score for Wilde was voted in at number 12.
