Daniel Kandi?
Danish -> Denmark -> DK
Also he is Danish, and some sort of hot shot trance music producer so -> bestseller?
I'd never heard of him, but his wikipedia page says amateur snooker player.

Well done! That's correct.

Daniel Kandi is one of Denmark's leading amateurs. He hit a 147 a few years back and has entered Q school a few times without much success. Not the correct answer to this though, as you will have seen in my reply to LDS

Not sure about the UK, but Jack & Jones outlets are everywhere here. Good mid-price men's clothing.

They should probably open up in the UK then, as our local Gap has now closed, leaving a... gap in the market!

Some excellent guesses but none right so far and nobody is at all close, so I can't guide you with suggestions about who's closest, all equally far from the answer.
