INVITATION TO VOTE<\/span><\/h1>\n

As someone who has followed the progress of Stevie McCrorie since he appeared on national television at the beginning of 2015, \u00a0I believe Stevie has made the right decision in rejoining the fire service and<\/span> continuing his parallel career as a singer\/song writer. But do you agree?<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Thank you for voting<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

The newspaper-fest\u00a0about Stevie McCrorie returning to his career as a firefighter requires a response. As Stevie quite rightly indicates, a lot of what has been written is “nonsense”. Many journalists have failed to ask the source what he is actually thinking and doing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On a personal note, as just one of the 61,740 folk who support Stevie on social media (here<\/a><\/span>) and 36,100 (here<\/a>). I believe Stevie McCrorie has made the RIGHT call. Those jaded newspaper-hacks such as Pamela Patterson in the Mirror<\/em>\u00a0(here<\/a><\/span>) making a fast buck spinning this as something negative, fail to understand what is happening. The Mirror<\/em> seem to reckon Stevie McCrorie has not succeeded. He has only<\/em> managed 15,000,000 hits on Youtube (when you add up the various song views), whereas that great newspaper, with it’s audited circulation of a sad 791,831 (here<\/a><\/span>) and hundreds of staff is factually the thing that is going down the tubes. Cynical journalist Pamela’s Mirror<\/em> has had the worst circulation drop of any national paper at 14% in just one year.<\/span><\/p>\n

So for the record, here is an alternate view. Okay I may be bias as one of the millions of people who have watched and supported Stevie McCrorie, but some things really do need to be clarified about this…<\/span><\/p>\n

From reading Stevie McCrorie’s actual statements, I do not believe he is giving up on music. I reckon he is managing the security of his family by rejoining the fire service and also continuing with his singing career. It is worth considering that Stevie McCrorie will likely go on to save the lives of people whilst working as a firefighter. The deep routed desire to help fellow human beings is clearly ingrained in the DNA of this man. This fact, in and of itself should be recognised as a truly decent attribute. That he can sing his lungs out and fill large venues with people who thoroughly enjoy the songs he writes is a great bonus. So why not do both jobs?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

*****************<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

There is a good precedent for this dual job work balance…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If Prince William can work at two jobs – Stevie McCrorie certainly can!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It isn’t a perfect comparison, but it is valid. Whatever your view on the Royal Family, Prince William has also made the right call. He saves lives by flying an Air Ambulance, and this really balances William Windsor’s other job. To me, that is precisely what Stevie McCrorie is doing and he is spot on.<\/strong> To save people’s lives as a firefighter must be a professional passion. Half my family and friends are firefighters and I know why they do that job, and it ain’t for the money! Stevie McCrorie has two major vocational talents.<\/strong> So for the life of me I cannot understand anyone who would comment adversely when he returns to being a fireman and also continues to make excellent songs and albums. Also I cannot possibly believe Stevie would ever stop singing. As the brilliant Kirsten Dunst once said: Go get ’em tiger.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stevie<\/a>Stevie McCrorie Has Taken A Wise & Decent Decision<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To work as a firefighter and to give happiness to millions as a singer…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
