Part of the Family Fun Music Day.

Two films inspired by space exploration accompanied by sensational live music.

32 kms above the desert, on the edge of space, Joseph Kittinger stepped out of a balloon… for the next 13 minutes and 45 seconds he fell to Earth, breaking the sound barrier, terminal velocity and nearing death. His story has inspired the creation of this original music and film piece, Man High.

Music at the Brewhouse perform the world premiere of Man High – a specially commissioned collaboration between Stephen Deazley, Martin Parker and Andy McGregor – accompanied by jaw-dropping footage of this extraordinary event.

Icebreaker make a welcome return to Glasgow to reprise their version of Apollo: For all Mankind (music by Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno) following the show’s phenomenal reception last season. They will perform to the backdrop of Al Reinert’s documentary on the Apollo space missions, For All Mankind.

With the world premiere of Man High at City Halls just over one week away, here's a taster of this brand new music and film piece, featuring some jaw-dropping footage of Joseph Kittinger's mission. 32 kms above the desert, on the edge of space, Joseph Kittinger stepped out of a balloon and fell to Earth... Find out what happened at the premiere of a brand new music and film piece, Man High, at City Halls this month.
