On January 31st 2019, music and video games meet in what Celtic Connections is calling one of the "Must See" shows at this year's festival!
The 1980’s Bard’s Tale computer-game trilogy has been hailed as “One of the most iconic RPG series of all-time.” Three decades on, The Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep was released in September, 2018. Featuring a Gaelic-based soundtrack created by Simple Minds bassist Ged Grimes, this latest entry retains the original’s signature use of songs to drive the action.
This music works its magic again live in concert, taking the audience on a virtual quest through 18th Century Scotland. The show incorporates live music, synchronised video, gameplay and narration from the Bard himself...veteran actor John Buick.
Grimes leads a stellar line-up of Scotland’s finest musicians through this musical odyssey, a celebration featuring acclaimed Gaelic and traditional singers including Gaelic Singer Of The Year Eilidh Cormack, Kathleen MacInnes, Kim Carnie, Fiona Hunter, and Isle of Lewis sister vocal group Mackenzie.
