Country-pop trio Remember Monday are repping the UK at Eurovision 2025 but fans may recognise them from The Voice UK, West End stages before their big Basel debut
They’re heading to the Eurovision stage to represent the UK but if you think the women of Remember Monday look familiar, you’re not imagining things – and also you have a good memory!
The country-pop trio, made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, have had quite the journey to the international spotlight, and they’re no strangers to a TV appearance. The girls are this year’s UK Eurovision hopefuls, performing their harmony-rich track What The Hell Just Happened, and they’ll be stepping out on stage in Basel, Switzerland, as part of the glittery grand final.
But it turns out this isn’t their first brush with a big singing contest.
The Voice UK
Way before Eurovision came calling, Remember Monday had their first taste of national fame on The Voice UK back in 2019. At the time, all three women were in their early 20s and auditioned together as a group.
Their rendition of Seal’s ‘Kiss From A Rose’ wowed the entire panel so much so that all four judges hit their buzzers. Every judge: Jennifer Hudson, Will.I.Am, Tom Jones and Olly Murs all turned around to try and win them over. They eventually joined Team J-Hud, and made it to the knockouts performing their original song Jailbreaker .
West End
The three-piece, who became friends at sixth form in Farnborough, Hampshire, started writing and rehearsing music on Mondays, hence the name. The group creates a unique mix of modern country, vintage harmonies and pop-rock flair. Think Nashville meets the West End.
Theatre fans of musical stage shows might recognise Lauren and Holly-Anne from London’s top productions. Between them, they’ve starred in Phantom of the Opera and Six: The Musical, adding some West End polish to their country-pop credentials.
Festival appearances
Since their time on The Voice, the group has been steadily making waves in the UK country scene. They’ve played at Country to Country and The Long Road Festival and even embarked on their own UK headline tour, selling out a London show in the process.
They’ve also built a loyal online following, boasting 77,000 followers on Instagram and over half a million TikTok fans. And they’ve caught the attention of a few famous faces along the way.
BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills is already a fan, having played them on his show, and earlier this year the trio made it across the pond to the Jennifer Hudson Show in the US. A clip from the appearance, captioned by the show “Reunited and it feels so good! @remembermonday_ has come such a long way since @iamjhud coached them on @thevoiceuk”, had fans reminiscing about their early days.
One viewer wrote: “I recently found out about this group and now I’ve learned that YOU were their coach! This is incredible.” Another chimed in with: “Going from watching you gals on the West End to now this. Proud as punch!!”
Eurovision shake-up
Their Eurovision entry marks a significant shift in tone from last year’s act, when Olly Alexander took to the stage with his synth-pop number Dizzy . That entry unfortunately finished near the bottom, with zero points from the public.
This time around, the UK’s Eurovision organisers are clearly betting on a fresh formula. A source told The Sun: “As ever behind the scenes competition has been fierce to represent the UK. This year, bosses have opted to shake things up and send a female trio, Remember Monday.”
