Amazing. If I wasn’t already married I’d be starting a whip round for that!

I just think it's really humble of him to only ask for a premium economy flight instead of first class. Couldn't quite sell my fiancée on the idea of Lou Bega for $40k. I'd bet almost anything that he starts and ends the set with Mambo No. 5.

To get things back on track though, my guess is Marillon - Misplaced Childhood.

Was just about to say, apparently Clue 1 is a picture of Marillion, for those who didn't know, like me.
Marillon’s second album is called Fugazi. I’d imagine they’re a band @Thackeraye would be into so I’m guessing
Fugazi - Repeater + Three Songs
Fugazi - Repeater + Three Songs
Thanks - I had no clue who they were!
after reading their wiki page I can see their keyboardist - Mark Kelly - played with Travis at the Isle of Wight festival.
So there could be a link there perhaps...

Phish (for because Fish was in Marillion)
Lawn Boy (Because I’m not a fan and can’t think of any of their other records off the top of my head and am too lazy to look)
Tolkien?

I asked myself the same thing. Apparently Marillion was originally named Silmarillion after the JRR Tolkien book.
Oh ok...
Ahah! When I read your post, I thought "what does he play for 40 minutes? Mambo n°5 on repeat?".

The photo apparently was taken at the Mariott Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 28th November 1987. So maybe a reference to Amsterdam mentioned in a song?

that would be too easy...
but I believe that's the path to follow.
I'm guessing something related to Ian McKaye, but I'm not yet sure on what exactly?
one of his other bands? Minor Threat maybe
one of the groups he collaborated with? Ministry perhaps
or one of the bands he produced.... Bikini Kill, Rollins Band...
<edit> I was forgetting his label Dischord and the various bands connected with it
I'll wait for the second clue before throwing my hat in the ring

Will also wait for one more clue before my fruitless attempt is ridiculed and tossed into the gutter.

Legend, thanks! Good to see you all chipping in with picks. I'll be off all day tomorrow, so I should be able to jump into the thread a bit more. I'll be updating the clues thread and guesses then.
