Three lifelong friends from southern England are set to represent the UK in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, hoping to end a decades-long wait for a British win.
The all-female country-pop band Remember Monday will take the stage in Basel, Switzerland, this Saturday night, determined to make an impact with their original song What The Hell Just Happened.
The trio—Holly-Anne Hull from Camberley, Charlotte Steele from Farnham, and Lauren Byrne from Fleet—formed their group over a decade ago while studying performing arts in Farnborough. What started as casual rehearsals during their free time on Mondays turned into a lasting musical partnership that has now reached one of the biggest stages in the world.
Their journey has been built on strong friendships, shared theatre backgrounds, and years of persistence. All three women have performed in some of London’s most iconic West End productions, including Phantom of the Opera, Matilda, and Six. They’ve also reached audiences through television, competing in the knockout stages of The Voice UK in 2019.
Despite their busy careers on stage, the band kept performing and writing music together. Their song for Eurovision tells the story of a chaotic night out with friends, layered with upbeat melodies and a bold country-pop sound they hope will set them apart from the competition. They say the song was shaped by the music they love and artists they admire.
The group has traveled across Europe in recent weeks, promoting their entry and sharing their excitement with new fans. For them, Eurovision is more than just a contest—it’s a chance to celebrate creativity and friendship on a global scale. Though the band admits it still feels surreal, they are focused on giving a powerful and memorable performance.
The UK hasn’t won Eurovision since 1997, and recent years have brought mixed results. But Remember Monday believes their mix of theatre flair and musical chemistry could capture attention and earn support. With only two tickets each to share with loved ones, most of their families will be cheering from home. Still, the support from fans, relatives, and the BBC Introducing platform that first featured them in 2019 has given them confidence.
The group says they’re ready to bring high energy and a fresh style to the competition. For them, it’s not just about chasing a trophy—it’s about sharing the stage with best friends, doing what they love most, and making sure their performance is one to remember.
