The Monday Moment
British country trio Remember Monday made history at Eurovision 2025, proving that heartfelt harmonies and genre-defying grit can resonate far beyond Nashville’s borders.
When Remember Monday were announced as the United Kingdom’s official entry for Eurovision 2025, a ripple of disbelief ran through the country music community — the good kind. For fans of the genre, long accustomed to living in the cultural margins of UK mainstream music, this wasn’t just a win for three talented women. It was a milestone. It was proof that British country music, long simmering beneath the surface, had finally taken the spotlight.
Eurovision, known for its glitter, drama and unapologetic pop excess, has never been particularly synonymous with pedal steel guitars or three-part harmony. Yet Remember Monday — a female country-pop trio armed with powerhouse vocals and emotionally resonant lyrics — managed to not only cut through the noise but to top the national vote, securing their place on the continent’s most flamboyant stage. For many, it wasn’t just unexpected. It was historic.
In the same way that Sam Ryder’s chart-storming success in 2022 reminded the UK how to take Eurovision seriously, Remember Monday’s 2025 entry reminded it how to do so sincerely. Their selection didn’t feel like a gimmick. It felt like the natural outcome of a movement — the rise of country music in the UK, the mainstreaming of a sound once seen as niche, and the sheer magnetism of three artists who refused to compromise who they were.
From open mics to arena stages, from The Voice UK to Malmö, Sweden — the journey of Remember Monday is not just a story about Eurovision. It’s about a band that brought British country music home, then took it to the world.
Meet Remember Monday
Before Eurovision, before national headlines, and long before their harmonies echoed across Europe, Remember Monday were three friends trying to carve out a space for country music in a land more familiar with Britpop and grime. Formed in 2018, the trio — Holly-Ann Hull, Charlotte Steele, and Lauren Byrne — met through a shared background in musical theatre and soon discovered a mutual love for storytelling, melody, and the Nashville sound.
