The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit state-of-the-art mobile audio and HD video recording and production facility. The Bus, which was made possible by Yoko Ono Lennon, is dedicated to providing young people with tours of the studios and participation in free songwriting and multimedia production workshops. With the assistance of three on-board engineers, young aspiring musicians learn how to write, perform, record, and produce original songs, produce and shoot music videos and documentaries and complete a broadcast quality music video. Young musicians on board will have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary world class education resource.
In 2013 the bus first visited Ireland and was stationed outside the National Concert Hall. Music Generation Mayo brought 8 young musicians from Mayo (pictured above) to experience the bus for a day and this is the great song 'Take Me Away' and video they created on board:
