Remember Monday's Rollercoaster Ride: From Eurovision Cheers to Life Lessons

Remember Monday is a British music group made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele. The trio first met while studying performing arts at the Sixth Form College in Farnborough, Hampshire. Their shared passion for music and performance led them to form a band, and together they have experienced many exciting moments. In 2025, Remember Monday represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest, which took place in Basel, Switzerland. This was a huge opportunity for the group, as Eurovision is one of the most popular music competitions in the world, watched by millions of people.

The band performed their song 'What The Hell Just Happened' during the contest. Their performance was well-received, with many praising their strong vocal harmonies and stage presence. Critics noted that the group could 'really sing,' and their energy on stage was impressive. However, despite the positive feedback, Remember Monday finished 19th out of 28 countries and did not receive any public votes. Some thought that the complexity of their song, which mixed different musical styles and changed tempo between verses and choruses, might have made it harder for the audience to connect with.

After Eurovision, the band did not let the result bring them down. Instead, they went on a UK tour, performing for fans across the country. They also had the chance to play with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for Children in Need, which was a special experience for them. The members described 2025 as the 'best year of our lives,' even though it was also scary at times. Charlotte Steele, who is also a choreographer, led a coaching session for students at their old college, sharing her knowledge and encouraging young performers. When asked how they handle nerves before big performances, Charlotte said they try not to think about the huge audience watching at home. Holly-Anne Hull advised future Eurovision entrants to 'live every day to the max,' because the experience goes by quickly. The band is proud of their journey and hopes to inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter the outcome.
