A MAN will undergo pain only women usually experience to raise money for a marching band.

Scott Harrison, 30, of Princess Way, Stourport, is having his chest and back waxed for the town's Severnsiders Marching Jazz Band on Saturday as part of a "massive drive" to raise money for the 34-strong group.

The band's treasurer and first-aider is also hoping to drum up more members.

Mr Harrison's wife Sarah explained: "We've got the World Championships in August and we need £1,000 for new hats, which cost £25 each."

"I hope he won't feel too much pain!"
