Candy Productions

Each week we will have a playlist of music, tv programmes, radio shows, books, gigs, DVDs etc that we at Candy Productions are loving the best..
Any suggestions about what should be on the list? Email Cath with any ideas.
This week, we're giving the best of Candy support to:

Gigs, instore appearances & events :

Gig for Burberry workers
Goldie Lookin Chain have been added to the bill for a charity gig taking place later this month. They join Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys, The Automatic and The Alarm on the bill for the event - Pop Factory's Burberry Workers Concert - at Ystrad Leisure Centre on 24th March.
Money raised from the event is to go to the 300 workers at Burberry's Treorchy Factory who are to lose their jobs due to the factory's relocation to the east (of the globe, that is). Tickets on sale now - £12.50..

Downloads, releases, books, websites & DVDs:

NEW ELLIOT SMITH DEMOS POSTED ONLINE
Four previously unheard Elliot Smith demos have been posted online. The tracks, named 'Let's Turn The Record Over', 'True Love', 'Talking To Mary' and 'From A Poisoned Wall' are, it's said, just some of around fifty such demos which have yet to surface.
The songs are online at www.elliottsmithbsides.com

ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS (DVD, BMG)
Will the money fountain that is Elvis Presley ever run dry? Probably not, and this DVD, an account of EP by his family rather than those who just cut his hair and brown-nosed him ain't half bad.

RARE ORANGE JUICE TRACKS
Nice site, set up by a fan, which has rare and difficult to find Orange Juice tracks. Click here to access.
Of course Edwyn's been sick in the last year although feeling better, we read; so a big get well soon goes out to him from all at Candy.
You can access his MySpace site by clicking on the photo (right).
