Shadows of Esteren : ADELIANE concert.

UKGE has an exclusive to offer here. For one night only, we will host the first ever live performance in the UK of the new album for Shadows of Esteren : ADELIANE. Featuring music composed by François Rousselot, composer for the MR HUBLOT OST, short film that won the Oscar for best short animation in 2014, this will involve 10+ musicians on stage in the Pavillion room.
Meet the team and get your book signed during the show. Shadows of Esteren is a medieval roleplaying game with horrific and gothic overtones in a dark, low fantasy setting.
Even if you are not a roleplayer you can enjoy this concert. Get into the mood with this teaser for an earlier concert.
