Dee Dee Wilde continued to dance with and manage a new group of girls under the name `New Pan's People`: Pauline Crawford, Abigail Higgins, Patricia McSherry, Francesca Whitburn and Sarah Woollett. Also members for a short time during this period were the future Hot Gossip dancers Sarah Brightman and Carol Fletcher. In 1979, the troupe released another single ''Magic Man''/''Club Lido'' in New Zealand on the RTC label.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/release/6242034-Magic-Magic-Magic-Man-Club-Lido|title=Magic, Magic β Magic Man / Club Lido (1979, Vinyl)|access-date=23 October 2021|website=Discogs.com}}</ref> ''Club Lido'' was subsequently released in the UK on the GM label.
