Scared Weird Little Guys The First 15 Years Scared weird Little Guy 2005 DVD

Scared Weird Little Guys (also referred to as SWLG or The Scaredies) were an Australian comedy music duo formed in July 1990, comprising John Fleming (vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Rusty Berther (vocals, guitar, banjo). The Scaredies performed their last live show in Brisbane in May 2011, until a one-off benefit gig in Melbourne in October 2016. They reunited for a three-day stint at the Brisbane Powerhouse on 8 to 10 March 2019.
In 1987, Fleming joined “Four Chairs No Waiting”, an a cappella group comprising David Holmes, Ramsey Collins and Rusty Berther. The group performed aboard a Fairstar cruise, as well as touring RSL clubs around Sydney. They performed during most of Expo 88 in Brisbane. In 1989 Berther and Fleming joined “The Phones”, one of Australia’s top a cappella groups, which boasted members such as Paul Keelan, Michael Dalton and Reg Ellery. Performing at comedy and cabaret venues around Australia, the group also held a regular TV spot on Channel 7’s Bert Newton Show. Following the group’s break-up in 1990, Fleming and Berther teamed up and moved away from a cappella to concentrate on musical comedy routines.
