PROCEEDs from a charity CD by local band Cattle and Cane will go towards helping needy children in Teesside.

A video to promote Infant Hercules is to be screened at the Riverside Stadium this Saturday, the night after its first official airing at Middlesbrough Town Hall.

The single tells the story of Teesside’s industrial rise and decline before finishing with a chorus of hope for the future.

All sales from an initial print run 1,000 CDs are being donated to Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation’s new Schools Hardship Fund.

It was set up to help families with primary school aged children who are living below the poverty line afford clothes and bedding.

Created by Middlesbrough-based video company Erimus Productions, the video features many local landmarks including Eston Hills, Roseberry Topping, the Riverside Stadium, Saltburn, the Transporter Bridge, Newport Bridge, Stockton’s Victoria Bridge, the steelworks at Redcar and Wilton chemical complex.

It will be shown on the Riverside Stadium’s big screen shortly before kick-off of Saturday’s match with Fulham and will be available to buy from the club shop.

Its premiere is being the night before at the Philanthropic Foundation’s ball at Middlesbrough Town Hall.

Joe Hammill, Cattle and Cane’s lead singer, says the Thornaby band was proud that their song and video would be played at the Riverside.

“As a proud Boro fan, it will be a dream come true to hear our song and see this brilliant video at the Riverside Stadium,” he said. “It will be absolutely incredible.”
