Many thanks to everyone who supported us at the Kirkgate earlier this month - special thanks to Jordan, Jonathan, & Dean for their awesome sets.
The gig saw our esteemed bass guitarist Gareth Iddon sadly ending his long run with the Issi Noho live project - I'm sure he'll still be dragged in to the studio every now & again to help out though! ;-) Thanks Gareth and best of luck with your new ventures.
Finally, we'd like to wish you all a very happy & prosperous 2012....watch this space for our new look website too!! :-)

Many thanks
to everyone who came along & supported us on our 'mini World Tour'
over the last couple of weeks, really appreciated.
Early
indications from the charity gig at Hodgitt's in St Bees suggests we
raised over £500 for the RNLI & 1st Responders which is great
:-)
Hope we didn't confuse too many people with our 'electronica' set, following
two rock great rock bands I suspect we took people a bit by suprise
- thanks to Untamed & Radio Silence for playing too....really good
to watch them both. There's some early 'phone-footage' of us playing
here,
although you may have to twist your head to watch it all ;-). May also
be some photos along these
lines to come....
Cockermouth
Rock Festival seemed to go well, managed to totally clear us out of
promo CDs, so that can't be a bad thing - suspect they just made good
frisbees in the sun the next day ;-)
Thanks to Danny & Eldon for inviting us along to play again &
to Steve & co for covering FOH & lighting duties so incredibly
well - cheers all.
Watch
this space for more photos, videos, and details of where you can see
us playing in the not too distant future...oh, did I mention the new
track?! ("Your Sin" , another Rothery/Tubman collboration
trialled over the course of the last couple of weekends)! :-)

July 2011
Rehersals are well underway for the charity
gig in St Bees later this month (16th) - it's almost sold out so
let us know asap if you want to come along but don't yet have a ticket!
If
anyone's in the vicinity of the Kirkgate theatre, Cockermouth, on the
19th July a new Emma Rydal play entitled "True" is being premiered
(prior to running the following week in Manchester) which features original
music by Issi Noho - tickets available from the Kirkgate booking office.
Defnitely worth checking out!
Waiting
to hear when we're playing at the Cockermouth Rock Festival the following
weekend (22nd-24th July) so watch this space for details.....
...and

Many thanks to everyone who supported us at Cockermouth Rock
Festival last weekend and thanks also to Danny @ The Mighty Boof for
arranging things, the sound tech' for helping give it the bass it deserves,

Happy New Year!!
Quite a
bit going on at the moment (including a few developments not mentioned
below) - so watch this space for updates...yeah, ok....maybe ;-)
Have a look under Gigs for the latest news on the "Ambitious Project",
date for your diaries?!
We're also back in the studio with Mazzoni so fingers crossed for a
deserving follow up to She's a Gun.
All things considered pretty hectic.
AND...on top of all that Nat's pregnant!!! Nick's keen to know how old
they have to be before they can make cups of tea, snowboard, and generally
help out in the studio (think he's rather chuffed!) :-)
12
Dec 2009
So a quick update while it's still 2009!
The live project's now almost ready to go so keep an eye on the website
in Jan/Feb for more info (fingers crossed).
Also, check
out this
clip from Bob Fisher's (BBC Radio) show last week (it may take a
little while to load) - cheers Bob!
And finally, may we take this opportunity to wish you all the very best
for the Festive Season and 2010.
Nick & Neil

Aug 2009
Following on from the shock (?!) inclusion of vocals &
guitar on the last track (they're a bit good though!) we thought you
may like to hear this, recorded just after 11pm last night....NiNe
(Undercover Alien Electro Mix)...another unexpected twist?! Worth
pointing out this was designed for big speakers so watch your PC if
you're just going to play it through the little inbuilt ones (actually,
it'll probably just ignore all the bass!) ;-)
5 Aug 2009
Hot off the press, Issi Noho vs Mazzoni - She's
A Gun :-)
11 June 2009
Work on the 'ambitious live project' is now coming together,
hoping to set something up for late summer. If you fancy dropping in
on rehersals to let us know what you think give me a shout! :-)
I'll upload the latest track (remix mentioned below) when the guys from
Mazzoni have heard it and the finishing touches are done.....watch this
space!
01 Jan 2009
Happy New Year!!
I've updated the track listings, gig info, and added some new
photos.
We're
also starting work on a collaboration with a very well known local band...watch
this space!

March 2008
Thought it was about time I posted something - been a while,
sorry! Couple of new tracks in the pipeline, one finished & tested
at Dalston Hall over Christmas...Have a look under the Gigs section
for some other news!
30
October 2007
We've pretty much completed the live track - uses a rather
blatant sample so will probably stick to it being a track just to play
live for the moment!
(or I suppose you could try
here!! ;-) )
15
August 2007
Pretty much completed the ambisonics project - apparently it's going
to be used in the new 3D surround sound space being installed in Workington,
first in the country! Quite a few local people have contributed so it
should be worth checking out - some of the other tracks I heard were
excellent. There was talk of a smaller version (setup in a geodesic
(sp?!) sphere) that was to make an appearnace at this years Solfest
but I never saw it? Speaking of which, some great bands on at the festival
this year - managed to miss Ozric Tentacles but I made a point of catching
System 7 who were superb, along with Ben's Brother (name of the act
rather than the bloke, although I think his brother is called Ben....)
and a lady on the drystone wall stage who did some amazing renditions
of classic stuff, like Pinball wizzard...coooool!
Live project is still in te "coming along" stages and a new
track which we've written especially for this will hopefully be completed
in the not too distant future - I'll maybe stick it on the site so you
can let me know what you think! Oh, and we now have a slightly better
Myspace page which you can see here...I've
finally uploaded a few tunes on there and had a mess about with the
colours so hope you like it!
Bye for now.
12
June 2007
Just a
quick update for anyone looking in - there's a new track in the pipeline,
and the live project is coming along quite nicely at the moment (touch
wood) with a number of tracks 'updated' and arrangements sorted out.
We've also been out & about recording for an ambisonics project
- more soon......oh, and thanks to everyone that's signed up for the
newsletter so far. If you haven't already, click on the contact button
above and it should hopefully be obvious what you have to do from there.
Take care all :-)

Hellooooo!!!
We're back after nearly a year away - well not away as such, just not
really had chance to update the site...sorry!
So, what have we been up to, and why no updates??
Well - Nick's finally bought a house and everyone's been snowboarding
again :-)
House move meant moving the website to a new machine which has taken
some doing.
Music
wise we've had the pleasure of an awesome tabla player to sample (so
to speak!) which you can hear in the latest track, as yet only known
by it's working title "Techno Breaks" which perhaps does (but
more likely doesn't to be fair) give an idea of what it's like. I'll
try to stick some pic's up from the 'Tabla Sessions'; 1st draft of the
new track is up for you to check out under the Sounds section now though
(although the conversion to mp3 seems to have made it a bit quiet so
I'll have to tweek it a bit I think).
However, the bigger news is that we've started work on a couple of projects.
The first being a follow up to the Urban Freestyler DVD (more when I
have any info), and the second...........potentially, possibly, maybe....an
ambitious live event ;-) We've drafted in the assistance of two percussionists
and a guitarist to 'bulk out' the stage line up (for want of a better
phrase) and are in the process or writing live parts for them as well
as devising set lists, updating arrangements and...well can't give away
too much just yet can I! More as it unfolds under "Gigs".
Anyway,
glad to be back - hope everyone's well and I'll chat again soon :-)

Also, if
you were unable to find a copy of the latest Issi Noho album, "One
Night This Week" which is now sold out, we've put that on there

December 2005
Down to the last couple of CDs now - and "No!" the
reason stocks were down to single figures wasn't because we'd only pressed
up 10!! :-)
Anyway - if I remember there may be some new photots up in the next
day or so, but we'll see.
In the meantime
Merry Christmas love from Nick & Neil xx
