Dobson Sound has been mixing with the stars at the recent London Fashion Week. Their first show was for former British Fashion Awards New Generation Designers Suzanne Clements and Brazilian-born Inacio Ribeiro, whose current Spring 2001 collection is for French label, Cacharel. Held in a specially-constructed marquee on the upper level of the Natural History Museum, it was a fairly informal show with guest DJ Rob da Bank providing the tunes on Dobson's two Technics 1210s through a d&b C7/E9 combination, and eight flown E3s.

Two days later, Dobsons was involved in the startling transformation of Asprey's and Garrard on New Bond Street to launch Jade Jagger’s new collection of jewellery. The private party was hosted by Ms Jagger herself who was reported to be delighted with the transformation wrought upon the premises in such a short space of time. Engineer Mark Smith, who also looked after the Clements-Ribeiro show, explained that although the store did not close to the general public until 6pm, by 7.30pm all of the counters had been removed and replaced with a fully functional 'club' on the mezzanine level. "We went for the twin Technics system with two C7 stacks for this room (Max wedge for DJ monitor) and a further eight E3s for relay in the main body of the shop," said Smith. "DJ's included the 'party-master', Jeremy Healey, who had originally requested Technics decks and a JBL system. However, I think he was fairly impressed with the d&b along with all the other DJs and no doubt most of Mayfair's residents!! In fact, even the host’s father was seen to strut his stuff so something must have been right!"
