More To Lose - Videoke (Original music by Seona Dancing)

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, reached number 70 on the UK charts. The follow-up, "Bitter Heart," reached number 79 on the UK charts. The group then 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 favourite theme song for many Filipino teenagers in the mid-1980s.[1] Eventually, the identity of the song was revealed as "More to Lose" by Seona Dancing. Bill Macrae faded into obscurity, however, Ricky Gervais went on to have a successful career as an award-winning comic writer and comedian. He is mostly known as the co-writer and star of the successful hit BBC comedy The Office, and recently Extras.Former members of the Filipino New Wave/Alternative rock band Half Life Half Death, Alfie Vera Mella (on vocals and keyboards) and Rain Paggao (on guitar) collaborated in 2006 and recorded their version of "More to Lose." The piece is included in Paggao's project; an album entitled Songs for Moonlit Nights by The Rain (2006, Independent)
