1. Who are Remember Monday?<\/p>\n

Remember Monday consists of three best friends since college \u2013 Lauren Byrne, Charlotte Steele and Holly-Anne Hull, and have been a group since 2013.<\/p>\n

2. They\u2019re trained in Musical Theatre and have performed in the West End<\/p>\n

We have some leading ladies on our hands! Lauren Byrne played the hero of the story, Miss Honey in Matilda The Muscial. Holly bagged the lead of Christine Daae in Phantom Of The Opera, one of the most prestigious roles in the world.

However, she also made her West End debut at only 10 playing Jane Banks in Mary Poppins.<\/p>\n

3. They were originally called \u201cHouston\u201d<\/p>\n

When they formed in 2013, the group went by the name \u2018Houston\u2019, however they changed to Remember Monday back in 2018, as it had more meaning to them. Monday\u2019s were when they had free periods at School to sing together.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. They took part in The Voice UK, and have a very famous fan<\/p>\n

All four judges turned from them and they ended up choosing Jennifer Hudson to mentor them (one of the reasons being that Jennifer actually threw a shoe in excitement). Unfortunately they were eliminated during the Knockout stages. However, their time with Jennifer didn;t end there, as she invited them to sing on her TV show in the USA,. They performed \u201cHand In My Pocket\u201d by Alanis Morissette on the show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hysterical Women\u2019 was released on 3rd February 2023. Their second \u2018Crazy Anyway\u2019 was released on 25th October 2024, not too long before their Eurovision journey went into full speed.<\/p>\n

6. Holly-Anne Hull played at the Queen\u2019s 80th birthday party in 2006<\/p>\n

Part of Holly\u2019s costume required no shoes and she was asked by the Queen herself why she wasn\u2019t wearing any!<\/p>\n

7. Lauren Byrne is a business woman<\/p>\n

Lauren from the group co-owned a business with fellow West End star Harriet Watson. Their business was called IN3, which provided musical theatre training for young performers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8. Charlotte Steele was a Deupty Headteacher<\/p>\n

Charlotte was very senior at a performing arts college, being the Deputy Headteacher. She left to pursue the career with the band, a more fun career for sure!<\/p>\n

9. They want to get Eurovision tattoos<\/p>\n

However this will only happen if they come top 3. When speaking to Wiwibloggs\u2019 own William, they also said they were thinking of getting one for each stop of their promo tour, including a tulip for Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

10. Their favourite way to deal with haters is to\u2026sing!<\/p>\n

Especially on TikTok to their 530,000 followers, they will usually sing a couple of negative comments that they get.
