TRYING to keep your head through a fun-filled romp can't be that easy, especially when you're in charge.

But music student, Martin Fitzharris, from Horwich, is taking it all in his stride.

Martin, pictured in action on the left, is in his second year of the National Diploma at Wigan and Leigh College and is currently musical director for the college's production of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. The production is described as a "fun-filled romp" with lots of cross dressing and confusion.

A former St Joseph's RC pupil, Martin wants to be a professional drummer and already plays in his own band. "But we haven't got a name yet," he laughs.

The production runs at the Lanacre Theatre (Wigan campus) until tomorrow, when it will tour local colleges.
