Alrighty, I may be too surface level at this juncture, but here's where I'm at...
ALBUM 1
Clue 1: EU country (see
@Lee Newman post for list, if needed)
Clue 2: Solo Singer Songwriter
Clue 3: 2023 and/or award winner and/or [Dublin/Limerick] Ireland (which fits the EU clue) (thanks
@panino for elaboration on this one)
ALBUM 2
Clue 1: Non-EU European country
Clue 2, part 1: Band
Clue 2, part 2: International (Audi is German and Bonhams is an International auction house with divisions in London, Paris, NY, SF, LA, Hong Kong and Sydney)
Clue 3: 2022 and/or award winner and/or [Glasgow] Scotland (which would fit the non-EU, but European clue)
...based on the above I was briefly looking at Young Fathers for album 2, but unless he's done some deep scrubbing of his internet footprint,
@Joe Mac has never mentioned them on the forum, nor does he have anything of theirs in his collection. So that's a bust so far.
