A Monmouth woman has signed a five album record deal with Warner Records.

Debbie Clarke teamed up with legendary record producer Tony Visconti two years ago and signed the deal with Warner following a meeting in London last month.

Debbie, the granddaughter of Monmouth wartime dance band leader and pianist Steve Clarke, said she was delighted to have signed for the label.

"I'm very excited. I have been singing since I was nine so it has been a long slog, but has definitely been worth it."
