Seona Dancing (pronounced as "Shawna Dancing") was a 1980s British pop group best known for providing Ricky Gervais with his first taste of fame.
The band was formed in 1982 by aspiring pop stars Bill Macrae and Ricky Gervais. They were signed to London Records. Their single "More to Lose," released in 1983, made it only to number 70 on the UK charts. The followup, "Bitter Heart," reached number 79 on the UK charts. The group quickly disbanded in 1984. A year later, in 1985, a DJ from 99.5 DWRT-FM in Metro Manila, Philippines, started playing a song called "Fade" by Medium (also billed as "Medium" by Fade). It became a runaway hit and a favorite theme song for many Filipino teenagers in the mid-1980s. Eventually, the identity of the song was revealed as "More to Lose" by Seona Dancing. Bill Macrae faded into obscurity, however Ricky Gervais has had a successful career, as he is now an Emmy, Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning comic writer and performer. He is mostly known as the co-writer and star of the successful hit BBC comedy The Office, and recently Extras. He is also a stand-up comedian.
