Trident Top 10 - Celebrity encounters

Having visited 30 different locations worldwide - and a host of different festivals, gigs, clubs and bars - it was inevitable that I was going to bump into some superstars along the way. From the mainstream famous to the old school obscure, the chart-topping beauties and the legendary artists - there was a whole heap of stardom on show. Check out this list of 10 nicest celebrities I met on my travels.

10) Mr Hudson, Wakestock, Wales, Week 6

Chart-topper Mr Hudson was extremely nice and friendly during our interview at Wakestock festival. I even bumped into him in London a few weeks after the event, and he remembered me and said hello- what a dude.



9) Zane Lowe, Mallorca Rocks, Week 2

Legendary DJ and tastemaker Zane Lowe and I had a little interview/chat in Mallorca before his set at the Mallorca Rocks opening night. He was very down to earth!



8) Mr Scruff, Garden Festival Croatia, Week 7

The lovely Mr Scruff was playing a set by the water in Croatia - so we did a short interview together during the late morning of the festival. At lunchtime, myself and some friends were eating in a local restaurant, and Mr Scruff came in and joined us. Lovely!



7) Sarah Harding, Ibiza, Week 18

I bumped into Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding in a ladies loo in Ibiza at Pasha night club. I wouldn't usually stop a celeb and ask for a photo - but in the name of fun-blogging, I did just that!



6) Ari James, Miami, Week 22

On a vist to the famed Miami Ink Tattoo studio (home of the TV series), I met celeb-tattooist Ari James. Hooray!



5) Grandmaster Flash, Spirit Of Burgas, Bulgaria, Week 12

Hip hop legend and intimidatingly powerful star Grandmaster Flash was actually a surprisingly cheery and fun interviewee.



4) Mark Ronson, Ibiza, Week 1

On the first week of my adventures I bumped into Mark Ronson in a bar by the beach. We chatted about heavy metal and bands that we like... then I stopped stalking him and left him to his night!



3) Corey Taylor, Sonisphere Turkey, Week 5

The Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman is one of my favourite people to interview - witty, sarcastic and very funny.



2) Newton Faulkner, Beautiful Days in Devon, Week 13

The friendly, smiley dreadlocked singer was very kind in letting me interview him backstage in Devon. We decided after chatting that we looked rather like brother and sister. Weird.



1) Rolf Harris, Bestival on the Isle Of Wight, Week 15

The man, the Australian, the artists, the musician, the legend. I totally stalked him in a car park and ran over for a photo. My mate on Facebook thought it was a snap of George Lucas. No dear - it's Rolf bloody Harris! Wow!



That is all. Good times.
