Runaway by The Crickettes

The Crickettes playing Runaway at The Grand Pavilion on the 15th June 2013.

[@stephenk54]

I’m 66 and to see and hear musicians embrace the stuff from when I was growing up seriously brings tears...

[@stevenkaplan7146]

same age here, same comment...just great

[@edmundverwey617]

I'm sure Del Shannon would be very proud to hear his song being played by a modern lady's guitar band. I like I like, Thanks for sharing ladies.

[@joegongora2200]

Del Shannon has heard women sing Runaway. In 1977 or 8 Bonnie Raitt had a hit with Runaway, she still performs and writes songs till this day.

I’m 73 years old but i love the music ❤

76 éves vagyok magyarországról. Csodálatos ez a hangszertudás . ahangzás és együtt löktetés .

[@walterfink9782]

I really like these women, not only for their beauty, but also for their musical talents. Great music choices, and fantastic musical instrument playing. Love this!

[@monaj2971]

Why does KZbin wait 6 years to suggest these videos when they know how many guitar vids I watch??? Especially women guitarists. Fabulous job ladies!

[@waynemgtregear7228]

what do you epect from an petty minded arrogant ingoran men in society

[@monaj2971]

wayne mg tregear 3rd not sure what you mean but this video is not the place, pick a political video for that.

[@stevepseudonym445]

@@waynemgtregear7228 Thanks for letting us know you're a moron.

[@stevepseudonym445]

My guess is that there are two things going on, and that's the keywords and description of the video (supplied by the uploader), and the YT algorithm that ranks videos and decides what to suggest. There are just 4 keywords (you can see them by looking at the page source and searching for "keywords") for this video: "The Crickettes","Runaway","The Ventures","Del Shannon"]. The description is what you see right under the name of the uploader. YT isn't going to tell us much about the algorithm, but it's basically just math. It does the math accurately, but that doesn't mean that it's intelligent. Based on the keywords there's no reason to think that YT knows that this video has anything to do with women or guitars. Technically it may not even know that it's about music. What it knows it what the keywords are, who else has watched it, what those others viewers watched, total views, etc. Of course it also knows what videos you've watched. Absent the information about other people you could probably watch 1000 videos a day, with all of them being related to female guitarists and never suggest this. Since it does now about other people watching it the connection is made at some point, and it turns up as a suggestion. I'm strictly guessing, but unless the keywords and description are a really good match for other stuff you watch there may be a minimum number of views before it gets suggested, too. Think of it as a bit like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. No matter how many people you know and who know Keven Bacon you still need to string together the necessary people in the middle to complete the connection. FWIW I think the first time I saw a suggestion for the Crickettes was just about a week ago.

[@davidrmohr]

Excellent job! I've always been a big fan of a steady rhythm guitar playing behind the lead and you all did it extremely well. Keep up the good work!

[@charlesclark7350]

Always makes my day full of sunshine listening to the great Crickettes!

[@Doowopsid]

Wow, great job! Always loved this song and Del would be impressed.

I’m 66 years old now and I’m in Love with Song Runaway since I was a young a Child 🧒 to Hear These Lovely Ladies play this I can only wish I could Sing 🎤 right along with Them

[@Mutt69m]

So well done, brought me back to the days of the Ventures and the Shadows and Dick Dale and other instrumental bands of the 60's.

[@surfguitar6858]

Zoe & Crickettes, you girls are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I only regret I didn't know about you when you were together. I would've dropped everything and flown to the U.K. in a New York heartbeat!! What a beautiful sound and tastefully unique spin you put on the classics - The Shadows, Ventures, Buddy & Del - you ladies are incredible. Were I Bill Gates, the Crickettes would RAVE ON forever!!!

[@McCullochZoe]

That is very kind comments. Thank you we appreciate it. Zoe.

In 1977 or 8 Bonnie Raitt had a hit with Runaway. It's not the 1st time women have performed Runaway.

[@neilbolton158]

Brilliant version by Bonnie Raitt

[@carlosgm70]

Extraordinary. Thanks for cheer me up. Lovely girls, and a beauty bass player.

[@McCullochZoe]

We know Chichi the lead guitarist with Strawberry Parfait.When I toured Japan she was just 8 years old and she played a show just before me with the band that was backing me.Such a great little player and we are so pleased she now has an all girl band..

[@GrandmasterGib]

It used to be The Ventures and The Surfaris playing as I drove down to surf. If I ever start surfing again I'll have to add The Surfrajettes and The Crickettes to the sound track. Thanks for keeping surf music alive!

[@KOOLDAVE1953]

Just stumbled across this....it's quite the nugget. I was in 2nd grade when Runaway came out,,,the year was 1961. I'd like to have a nickel for every time our band played this....I'd have a dump truck full, Nice job.

[@coldacre]

oh my god... I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see young ladies playing guitars!!! and great playing too! in a world gone mad with Miley Cyrus etc ruining music with utter rubbish .... this is just brilliant. the lead guitarist has real nice touch, she works the vibrato arm REALLY well. not too much, not too little. I'm a fan!

[@mariomorancedeno216]

It's the true, you have the reason...Its so amazing swatch these young ladies playing one old song, that brings me many many remembers of my life, and specially , of one "runaway woman " that I never forget...

[@noworriesmate8287]

🤣😂🤣 ok, right, 🤣😂🤣

[@nytelight1776]

Yeah, I totally agree with you. And there are more awesome all girl bands like The Amorettes (Scotland) or Thundermother (Sweden) which I can recommend to you.

[@normangale3159]

The young lady lead guitarist, I am lead to believe is the one and only Zoe McCulloch and she is one of the most recognised and accomplished guitarists and I saw a video on here with her accompanying Jet Harris, a name you will no doubt all remember as being the original Shadows bass player.

Ok, so the young lady on the left starts out w/playing thelead, while the young lady on the right picks up the pieces where she leaves off. How awesomely nice that is. Just like some rock bands where the lead and rhythm take turns playing the lead and rhythm. young ladies, such awesomeness.
