It has been two weeks since the UK’s first girl group entrant to Eurovision since 1999 took the stage.

Remember Monday had an eventful few months leading up to the competition in Switzerland – and they show no sign of slowing down.

Talking to BBC Radio Solent, the all-female trio from Hampshire and Berkshire say they are about to have the “summer of our dreams”.

Holly-Anne Hull, from Camberley, Charlotte Steele, from Farnham, and Lauren Byrne, from Fleet, all co-wrote What The Hell Just Happened? to perform in the 69th annual contest and finished 19th during the grand final.

The group, who received 88 points from the national juries but none from the public vote, said the competition had given them “memories that will last a lifetime”.

Their song is currently sitting at 31 in the official charts and the group, who originally met at Farnborough College in sixth form, say they are hoping to get back into the studio to record new music soon.

What’s next for Remember Monday?

Charlotte, who worked as a deputy head of a performing arts for a sixth form college in Bracknell, said: “I can’t explain how much we just loved every single second of that experience.

“Every day we were ticking off bucket list things. It was just the best thing we’ve ever done and then the way it went on the night – I don’t feel like we could have been more proud or happy. We got to experience the entire Eurovision experience.”

Remember Monday is now preparing to go on tour, with dates scheduled across the UK, as well as a few appearances at music festivals including Isle of Wight, Latitude and The Big Feastival.

Holly added: “We will wear our Eurovision flag with so much pride forever. We have it to thank and that Eurovision community to thank for everything that’s happened so far.”

Lauren said she was hoping fans would have a few “new bits of music on their radar” by the time they come to perform again.

She added: “Fingers crossed. We’re trying hard to make plans – honestly the summer of our dreams is happening this summer, we never thought we’d be this booked and blessed.

“We will be rehearsing a lot and on the road a lot, but hopefully we’ll have some time to squeeze in recording some new music in there.”
