East Yorkshire tour company creates Star Bus for global superstar Teddy Swims

An East Yorkshire company which provides luxury travel for some of the world’s leading music artists has designed a unique tour bus for a music star.

MM Band Services, based in Holderness, specialises in sleeper band and tour bus services for the entertainment industry, having provided transport for international artists and their crews, including the likes of Beyoncé, the Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons and Kasabian. Now the company has designed and built a £650,000 double decker ‘Star Bus’ for US singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, tailored to the Bad Dreams singer's requirements for his current UK and European tour.

The bus has an en-suite bedroom for the star, downstairs toilet, kitchen facilities with a sink and fridge, desk and office space, lounge area and comfortable, as well as quilted sleeping bunks with gel-cooled mattresses for up to 10 people. Designed and created by the MM Band Services team over 18 months, it also includes an entertainment system with widescreen HD TVs, surround sound systems, games consoles, Starlink high speed internet and Alexa.

It is believed to be the only one of its kind to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel, an alternative to diesel which reduces fuel emissions by 90%. Reusable water bottles and coffee cups, bean-to-cup coffee machines and green cleaning products add to its environmentally-friendly credentials.
