While grabbing a bargain at Orana Mall last Friday would have been high on the agenda for many Dubbo shoppers, it was also their chance to meet country music star Adam Brand at JB Hi-Fi.

Organised by the store, Mr Brand’s visit to the shop delighted many Orana Mall staff and customers.
Centre manager Tracey Redden said while Adam’s visit was pre-organised by JB Hi-Fi, and not Orana Mall, she was very pleased to have him come in.
“He’s a very pleasant guy,” she said.
“And he was more than happy to meet and greet the customers at JB Hi-Fi.
“We were very excited that he was here.”
Dubbo resident Jessica Barwick was one of the lucky people who got to meet Adam that Friday and waited for two hours in the store for Adam’s arrival that afternoon.
But this wasn’t her first brush with the legendary Australian country music singer.
Ms Barwick first met Adam when she was only 8 years of age, when he pulled her and her cousin up on stage with him when he performed at the 2001 Dubbo Show and then again a few years ago.
“The last time i saw him was 2010. When he walked into JB Hi-Fi (on the Friday) and recognised me, I was so incredibly happy,” she said.
Ms Barwick said the JB Hi-Fi customers were all very excited to meet Adam.
Later that night Mr Brand performed at the Dubbo Show, which Ms Barwick also attended and said was “incredible.”
