Courier readers are showing support for singing firefighter Stevie McCrorie with our special poster.
Free copies of the bill were included in Tuesday’s Fife edition and people have been sticking them up in windows and doorways as the 30-year-old prepares for the semi-final of singing contest the Voice.
Father-of-one Stevie, a member of Kirkcaldy Fire Station’s Blue Watch, won a fast pass to the penultimate live show with a stunning performance of Cyndi Lauper’s All Through the Night on Saturday.
People have been chatting about our poster on social media, including Twitter where Stevie himself caught sight of it.

Stevie, who lives in Alva, Clackmannanshire, with wife Amy and two-year-old daughter Bibi, is the last Scot in the competition and said he may wear a kilt for Saturday’s show.
He remains the bookies’ favourite to win the competition.
