Having sold out a show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 7 Oct, composer-to-movies Danny Elfman has confirmed another score of live dates in Leeds, Glasgow and Birmingham.

Each will feature the BBC Concert Orchestra playing Elfman’s OSTs to various Tim Burton films (‘Beetlejuice’, ‘Batman’, ‘Edward Scissorhands’, ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ et al), large-scale visuals of Burton’s original storyboards and drawings, and a ‘special guest performance’ by Elfman himself.

Bigging up the shows, Burton told reporters: “I’ve always heard Danny’s scores performed live during our recording sessions for the films we’ve collaborated on. For others to finally be able to hear his music live is something special”.

Special indeed. And the new dates are:

8 Oct: Leeds, First Direct Arena
9 Oct: Glasgow, The Hydro
10 Oct: Birmingham, NIA
