Wish you were here!

5. VANILLA ICE CREAM - VANILLA ICE = CREAM.
6. First half of clownfish = CLOWN. (Thanks, @Omega Krypton!)
7. Vertigo - go + cal = VERTICAL.
8. Prince PHILIP + PINE = PHILIPPINE. (Thanks, @Omega Krypton!)
Part 2:
1. The news put me in touch with strange gases (7)
ME + gases rearranged SSAGE = MESSAGE (thanks, @JonMark Perry!)
2. Strike head of nail in long piece of tree (3)
LONG - head of nail N = LOG.
3. Landlord engaged in toilet terrorism (6)
toiLET TERrorism = LETTER (def. landlord).
4. Venereal disease dropped from satellite to troublemaker (4)
SPUTNIK - STI = PUNK.
5. Musician to almost guide make-up artist (9)
almost GUIde artist rearranged TARIST = GUITARIST.

4. Slapping or walking musician (7)
slapping and walking are bass terms, so the musician is a BASSIST.

4. VICIOUS PUNK BASSIST = SID.
5. CREAM GUITARIST INITIALS = EC.
6. CLOWN HORROR NOVEL = IT.
