CUSTOMERS at a shop on the Glenshane Pass got the shock of their lives when two of the biggest names in pop music strolled in and picked up some snacks.
US solo artist Bruno Mars stopped off at a Centra shop in Maghera en route to Radio 1's Big Weekend in Derry and was followed some hours later by Danny O'Donoghue, pictured, from Dublin band The Script.
The pop stars were stocking up on some hot food and sugary snacks ahead of their performances in front of 13,000 fans in Derry's Ebrington Square on Sunday night.
Emma O'Hagan was working on the till at 8.30am on Sunday when two vehicles pulled up outside and a number of men spilled out.
"They were singing and rapping around the shop and we were asking 'who is that?'
"A fella at the till who was driving them said 'it's Bruno Mars' and we didn't believe him but then he came up to the till and paid for his stuff.
"He bought a sausage roll and other things and paid for it using a credit card. He asked 'Can I get a bag please?' and my colleague who was serving him said 'sorry but it's five pence' and he said 'what, you have to pay for a bag?' So his manager explained and said he'd pay for it."
Ms O'Hagan then went outside to ask the singer, who shot to fame with breakthrough single Just The Way You Are, if he would pose for a photograph.
"When I went out he was eating the sausage roll and having craic with his friends and I had to interrupt but he was very friendly."
The 27-year-old from Gulladuff posted the photograph of the two of them on Facebook and it was shared and liked by thousands of others.
"Everybody who came in the shop today was talking about it," she said.
And as if one major artist was not enough for Centra staff to handle, four hours later along came another in the form of Danny from The Script who also stopped off for hot food.
Ms O'Hagan was on a break when The Voice judge arrived at around 12.45pm and was told by colleagues that he ordered and left the store, with a member of his entourage paying and carrying the food to the singer's vehicle.
Any other day she might have been annoyed at missing one of Ireland's most high-profile musical exports but not on Sunday when she had already met Bruno Mars who she thinks is "class".
Pop stars, they're just like buses in Co Derry now.
