Maurice Deebank is a classically trained English guitarist from Water Orton on the eastern edge of Birmingham. In 1979, the band Felt released their first single "Index", which became Single of the Week by Sounds magazine. Frontman Lawrence invited Deebank to join the band shortly afterwards, recognizing his guitar prowess. As a member of Felt from its debut album until 1985, Deebank was responsible for the ornate, atmospheric guitar work found on many of the band's early recordings. He co-wrote most of Felt’s material with Lawrence. His sole solo album, Inner Thought Zone, was released on Cherry Red Records in 1984.
