Ryan Adams : Music For The Weekend !

It's been a while since Ryan Adams had a new album out or toured, but he did get married to Mandy Moore so maybe that had something to do with it ! He has a new band and this album is self titled, it is one of his best so far ...

Love this track :  Gimme Something Good :

He has been on tour in the UK but of course he gave Belfast a miss, maybe next time ! 

Evolution Print Fair 23rd - 25th of October 2014

We are showing at the second Evolution Print Fair in Eindhoven from the 23rd - 25th of October.

The Evoluon is a fantastic venue for a design show, and it looks like it is sold out again this time. There is a fantastic mix of top quailty design studios there from all over the world, so hopefully it will be well attended.

Here are some photo's from last year :

We are in Booth 2.02, so hope we see you there ! 

George Ezra : Music For The Weekend !

The second is Budapest, both songs are on his first album Wanted On Voyage : 

What a voice ! 

Andrea's Let's Go Collection At Camelot Fabrics !

The weekend went by so quickly, but at least our Irish 'summer' is still hanging on ! 

Andrea has a new fabric collection at Camelot called Let's Go. It features the ubiquititous fox and other cute woodland characters all having fun camping and canoeing in the autumn ! You can check out all the prints and colours for Let's Go and Andrea's other collections at www.camelotfabrics.com.

If you are a crafter or quilter you should check out the Camelot Fabrics blog, it has loads of updates and  idea's for new projects.

Indigo September 2014

It was exciting going back to Indigo again, the area was very well laid out and full of great design ! This Indigo was certainly the busiest show (for visitors) we have done in the past few years, and it was how shows used to be, I am guessing before the recession hit, this show had a real buzz. Being a last minute exhibitor meant our booth had to be fitted in, but we ended up in a very good place that could be seen from all round, including from Premier Vision. The good thing is we connected again with some clients we had not seen for a few years, and we also have some good follow up contacts, which is really what these shows should be about.

Here are a few shots of the booth :

We might be back for the Spring Indigo show too ..  hold this space ! 

A big thanks to Bowie at Print Pattern for putting our flyer up on her blog too !

Last Minute Indigo 2014 !

We usually plan shows way in advance, and to be honest showing at Indigo was not in our plans this year. But we have a lot of exciting new prints in the collection, and we have not shown in Paris for years, so out of the blue Indigo here we come ! The show organisers have been very good at finding a space for us, and helping us put a booth together, plus we have everything we need for the booth, so Paris here we come !

If you are coming to the show and would like to see the print collection, please email us (paul@cinnamonjoestudio.com) for an appointment at Booth 5U65. See you there ! 

Ben Howard

I can't believe we have gone this long without featuring Ben Howard. We went to see him at Belsonic in Belfast last year, the last date of his tour and he was excellent. His live set is so good, he crafts his songs, and they just carry you along …

This one is Keep Your Head Up and was filmed at Pinkpop in Holland in 2013 :

This track is Old Pine, it's not live but it has a great video : 

The summer in N Ireland is usually two weeks in May, but this year we have had a proper summer ! I think this music is perfect for 2014  !
