Who are they?

The band, comprising of Charlotte, Holly and Lauren, are a trio of best friends, who have earned a reputation for their strong vocals and perfectly blended harmonies.

They met in sixth form at Farnborough Sixth Form College in Farnborough, Hampshire. 

Their name refers to the day they used to meet up to practise when they first formed. 

Remember Monday first hit TV screens in 2019 when they found fame after reaching the Quarter-Finals on The Voice UK.

As well as their own brand of empowering pop, Remember Monday have become renowned for their viral melodies on social media. They’ve amᴀssed over half a million loyal followers and 11.3 million likes on TikTok alone.

The band have skilfully crafted playful A capella takes on the songs of a wide range of artists from Sabrina Carpenter, Queen and Shania Twain, to Wicked.

The girls all quit their day jobs in 2023 to pursue the band full time and have previously appeared in West End productions. 

This includes Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera (Holly), Mary Poppins (Charlotte), and Matilda (Lauren), who also had a lead role in the SIX tour.
