- Remember Monday will embark on a multi-country promotion tour, starting with official pre-parties in Amsterdam, London, and Madrid
- The group will perform in additional countries away from the official pre-parties
- Billy Webber, co-founder of the group’s label The Other Songs, expressed ambitions to win Eurovision, emphasising the label’s small but passionate team of 18 people working hard to make the project a success
The band will play at all the official Eurovision pre-parties, starting in Amsterdam on April 5 before heading to London on April 13 and then Madrid on April 19.
But the group will also visit destinations further afield and play their Eurovision song in countries which don’t host official pre-parties.
Speaking exclusively to The Euro Trip at a tea party event in London this week, Billy Webber, the co-founder of Remember Monday’s record label The Other Songs, said: “That’s the plan, especially in countries that absolutely love Eurovision.
“We want to take that energy everywhere we go.
“They will be performing at the pre-parties which is obviously very important and fantastic.
“We’d also like to get them into some other countries, and they would too.”
Webber was not in a position this week to confirm the other destinations on Remember Monday’s pre-Eurovision tour.
Punchy ambitions
Webber is the son of Andrew Lloyd Webber who penned It’s My Time, the UK’s Eurovision song in 2009. He is hoping his involvement in this Eurovision project leads his country to better Jade Ewan’s result of fifth place in Moscow 16 years ago.
“We want to win this. We don’t just want to do well. We want to win this competition,” he said.
“When we found out we were to be the record label, we didn’t have long to get everything into shape.
“For example, the tea party that we’re hosting today, we only had a week to sort that out. In that same week we’ve also been working on a promo tour.”
Small record label team
The Other Songs was co-founded by Billy Webber and his brother Alastair in 2018.
Before setting up their label, the brothers had both worked at Island records and Warner Music.
The Other Songs has just 18 members of staff on its books, but this small workforce isn’t something that Billy thinks is limiting for the Eurovision project.
“We don’t want to scare the Eurovision lovers out there – just because there’s a small team doesn’t mean not much can happen.
“We’re an incredibly passionate team, and when you have an opportunity like this when 200 million eyeballs are on a developing artist, it’s an excellent opportunity and you have to have all hands on deck.
“We’re 18 people, but 18 very talented people working incredibly hard on making this the biggest success that it can be and we’re ready for it.”
