Seona Dancing [pronounced Shawna] was a 1980s British pop group (formed in 82) best known for providing Ricky Gervais with his first taste of fame. The group clearly took from David Bowie [scene from Extras here], one of Gervais’ heroes. The band was formed by aspiring pop stars Bill Macrae and Ricky Gervais.
Bill & Gervais
Their single “More to Lose”, released in 1983, only made it to number 70 on the UK charts, and the band quickly disbanded in 1984. Bill Macrae faded into obscurity, but years later Ricky Gervais found new fame as the co-writer and star of the hit BBC comedy The Office among other things we will get to. Video after the jump.
