Davie Allan, must be around 80? I was thinking of either Link Wray or Dick Dale, both no longer with us.

I knew Brian Murphy was still alive but his wife (Linda Regan, probably most famous for HiDeHi) has just posted a photo of him which makes you think he's been gone for a while but his body hasn't realised yet.

honestly thought he’d be a pretty good 2020 dead pool candidate. Is he perennial?

I assumed "the 1976 tickets" was some kind of sporting team

You're thinking of Lubeck's Sportradio AM 1976 - The Ticket.

never realized how young he started his career. maybe the "hidey hidey ho" vocals made me assume he came up in an earlier scene?
