number 7

Spoiler

7 Babies on the slab - Kid Rock ?

 

[Ch3tan]

for 24 I'm thinking "The Jam" but it doesn't quite fit... any other bands with jam or marmalade in their names?

 

[Cerb]

Pearl Jam?

haha or is that who you meant?

 

[Ch3tan]

No I meant the Jam, but it may just be a band I made up!

Pearl Jam fits better, the phrase is confusing tbh, preserve reflect on the jetty... makes little sense.

Pearl certainly fits the water aspect.
