Original Allstars Music CIC Mobile Studio Project

12/08/2025

So a lot of thought is going into the bus at the moment into how we can make it as multi-purpose as possible for the benefit of young musicians and two ideas have stuck out to us.

Proposal 1 is to put in two opening doors which would open the bus up for performances and would involve a fair amount of metal fabrication. Similar to how it was previously used, the doors would open outwards rather than having a platform lowered each time.

Proposal 2 which seems more beneficial is to fix a retractable awning to the existing mountings and create two windows for screens allowing for a small stage to be set up outside the bus giving young people the chance to perform outside whilst others vision mix/live stream from inside via 4G/5G.

Your input and ideas matter so please feel free to comment!

Whilst events season is still in full swing, the work on the bus remains very limited due to lack of spare time.. However, plans are still forming and the other week, the diesel heater arrived ready for fitting for the cooler and quieter months ahead where progress will really start happening! Stay tuned.. 🚌🚌🚌

It's only taken 13 years (not 15) for a moment in history to occur.. 🚌

It's the time you have been waiting for! Here is your June 2025 update. With a brand new set of batteries, did it start? And most importantly.. did it move? 🚌➡❓

After 3 months of not being started and 3 years of not being driven, will our mobile studio lorry start and move?

Did you know.. today 13 years ago today, Original Allstars Music took delivery of the bus! Here's a look back at the bus before it was converted into a mobile stage. It actually use to be a mobile internet centre on wheels!

A year later, the bus was out on the road as a mobile stage sporting its first event at the Beach Dreams Festival. Shortly after the bus has completely died and would not start or anything for 4 months. After spending £3k to get DAF to come out and look at it, they managed to get it back up and running. Since then it was back on the road as a mobile stage until Covid came along and it ended up in storage off the road.

This is where our next phase comes in now to get it back on the road after being in storage for 4+ years. Its going to take some funding and man hours but the day will come where we put up the post saying we are back on the road! Its first event was the Beach Dreams Festival. Lets get it back there! 🚌🎶

Back in March we had to remove the batteries from the bus as they had reached their duty cycle a number of years over what was spec'd which isn't bad going! Since then the bus hasn't been fired up for a number of months. However, we have new batteries on the way and our next video update will include firing up the bus for the first time in a few months. Will it start? or will it move? Find out soon! 🔋➡🚌

It may have been a while since we have posted an update, but work has been happening, and just look at the improvement! Here is your May 2025 update on the bus!

May 2025 Update - The mobile studio lorry gets a new cab trim! Flooring is down and felt it fitted, the cab is starting to take shape again.

May's progress video is coming along nicely and will be launched near the end of the month with a newly trimmed cab space! A few drums have been cleared out of the bus to make additional room too!

❗Big Progress! ❗

Today ended with some good visual progress in the cab area with the new floor panels all cut out, screwed down, new flooring glued on, seating pillars carpeted and additionally, the engine cowling carpeted too! The only downside was running out of spray adhesive when it came to the engine cowling so still a few minor touch ups to sort there but apart from that, the cab is now looking a bit more presentable especially with the seats now fixed back in place. 💺🌟

Sadly the funds for purchasing bits to work on the bus have now depleted until some more old equipment has sold. The next phase will be to finish boarding off the last wall in the toilet and building the frame for the partition wall between the recording area and the studio area. All in good time but plenty more to do with what we currently have. 🔨
