About Me

Hoochie Fig is Keith Paton and Tim Riley - Edinburgh based musicians and songwriters who work together to produce their unique musical recordings and powerful acoustic live sets.

As well as the Fig songs here in MySpace, you can hear and download more at hoochiefig.com and keep up with Fig News there too.

You can't please all the people all the time, so just please your self.
