TRAIN ROOM

Little Whelan’s • Mon 14th April 2025
Train Room is the brainchild of Balla songwriter, musician and producer Joe Monaghan. Train Room’s first gig, at Dublin’s showcase Hard Working Class Heroes Festival last October, and debut EP Delicate Bones, brought the band’s distinctive sound to general attention and significant interest. Joe, who has been honing his musical skills recording demos for the past seven or eight years (in his studio in Balla), cites musical influences as broad as Wilco, Whipping Boy, Stereo Mcs, and Neil Young Train Room are thankful for previous radioplay on RTE Radio One, Red FM, 2xm, 8 Radio, KCLR, Galway bay FM, Midwest Radio, WPPM 106.5FM (USA), WLRM.
Performing under the moniker Train Room (Joe Monaghan), the native Mayo musician’s debut single since disbanding from record label in Sweden to start producing his own music again. Hurricane of love is the first offering and has already received great reviews and radio play. Train Room Have already played many headline shows in Ireland this year (Roisin Dubh, Workmans, Grand Social, Bridge St) and upcoming May tour has been rescheduled (Black Gate, Garbos, Bloody Marys)
As of 2025, Train Room returned to creating music after a 3 year hiatus and first single ‘Pleasure’ was released in Oct 2024. The track received acclaim online and second single ‘Wired to the Moon’ will be released in early December.
‘Station Road’ was the third single released by Train Room on 14th March 2025. Train Room will return to the live circuit at little Whelans on April 14th followed by Linenhall theatre Castlebar April 17th for a showcase show. It’s always gratifying when I stumble across an artist like Train Room and equally gratifying sharing the discovery with other’s.
Listen to songs like ‘Horizons and Hurricane of Love and I think you’ll agree Sheryl Zelkinson (Ex Senior Music Producer – The David letterman Show)
