Country trio Remember Monday to represent UK at Eurovision
The all-female country trio Remember Monday will represent the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland. The group, made up by Lauren Burne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steel, will perform their new single, What The Hell Just Happened, at this year’s contest.
This year’s final will be in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday 17 May after Nemo won last year’s contest with their song The Code.
You may have noticed that the country music wave has shown no signs of slowing down, with Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter nabbing album of the year at the Grammys and acts like Shaboozey lighting up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
The female trio – Lauren Burne, Holly Anne-Hull, and Charlotte Steel, who all met at sixth form in Farnborough, Hampshire, describe themselves on the band’s Instagram page as: “Pop girlies with a lil bit of yeehaw.”
Formed in 2013, the band were originally called Houston – even releasing a couple of singles under that name. But in 2018, they discovered that several other bands had the same name, so they needed to rebrand.
The trio first came to prominence during a stint on the ITV talent show The Voice in 2019, when they were mentored by none other than Jennifer Hudson.
Since then they have been touring and releasing singles (including Queen and Alanis Morissette covers) and two EPs.
“We always had free periods on a Monday, which is when we just used to get together and sing,” they told Scott Mills a short while ago on Radio 2. “And then that kind of turned into us singing every single day of the week and not going to our classes.”
“Our teacher used to come and find us in random spare classrooms and knock on the door and be like, ‘Girls, are you coming into class today?’ And we were like, ‘Sorry, Jenny, we’re being pop stars’, and singing a cover of my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
“So we did that for years and years, and it kind of became a little in joke that it was always happening on a Monday. So that’s where, Remember Monday was born.”
Remember Monday already have millions of shares on TikTok, but with their entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, we should all get prepared for more cowboy hats.
