TWO intimate shows in the atmospheric setting of Middlesbrough's reference library, by Teesside music favourites Cattle & Cane, have sold out.

The group – which counts pop legend Elton John among its fans – is taking part in an acoustic tour in some unusual settings.

As well as the library gigs, both on Saturday, September 16, the band will be live on stage on a launderette and a deli over the course of the tour.

The band, made up of siblings Joe and Helen Hammill and joined live by brother Fran Hammill and guitarist Thom Fripp, are on the road to coincide with a newly recorded self-titled EP.

Joe said: “Although we recorded all of these tracks at home on Teesside, they’ve definitely been influenced by time spent writing, touring and recording overseas.The EP also features re-worked tracks from their second album Mirrors which hit the top 20 earlier this year, as well as a cover of Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free.
