Issi Noho

Product Information

Sally and Andrew combine with Issi to think up a solution to this potentially devastating problem and try to make Issi his cheerful self once again. When it comes to their live performances, Issi Noho seamlessly merges their electronic setup with the energy of rock guitars, percussion, lasers, and bespoke visuals. He now has to fill in two numbers to complete each magic square and we all know the problems he had with only one! I was in marketing at the time and a friend I did a lot of work with said “I think your stories would really interest the TV companies".

Nick Smith and Neil Riley have been producing their unique brand of “psychedelic beats” under the name Issi Noho since the mid-90s. Issi had camouflaged his packing case with branches and leaves and the children could only see the middle letters ISSI NOHO, which they took to be his name. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. A subtle guitar melody adds a touch of organic allure to the mix, gradually building and developing into a groove that is both engaging and subtly electronic.

After a rather bad start (more magic) he settles down happily with the Martin family in Juniper Avenue. He magics a huge load of fresh produce onto the milk float, which becomes so overloaded that nothing can be removed from it! Adventures into outer space, a touch of his own brand of magic in the Christmas pantomime and diving for hidden treasures under the sea! No wonder the Chinese dragon, guardian of Issi’s magic powers, decides to pay him a visit to see how wisely he’s using his special gift. His name was based on a fragmentary reading of the words printed on the crate: "ThIS SIde up, use NO HOoks.

He can work a little bit of magic with the magic cards he inherited from his ancestors in China, but because he isn’t very good at arithmetic the magic sometimes goes wrong. With their unique blend of psychedelic beats, ambient melodies, and cinematic soundscapes, Nick Smith and Neil Riley have carved out a distinctive musical identity.

Well, I had covered the top of my home with branches and leaves which covered up some of the letters. Covers scuffed with creasing, contents have light use marks and wear, binding tight and almost square.

Their music can be described as a fusion of hard-edged evolving rhythms, ambient melodies, and twisted, cinematic soundscapes. In conclusion, ‘Grey Day’ by Issi Noho showcases the duo’s ability to craft a mysterious and groove-laden sonic journey.First aired on British TV in 1977, Issi Noho was an "illustrated" children's series, meaning that the program was presented in the form of a book, with voice-overs complementing the colorful visuals. It was simply a series of still pictures narrated by a male actor, about a magical panda who had been discovered on some waste ground by a group of children. Our live shows combine our electronic set up with rock guitars and additional percussion (as well as the compulsory lasers and bespoke visuals). As he sits chewing his licorice shoelace, Issi plans all kinds of time-saving devices for other people, like getting a Roman soldier to help Mr Martin build a garden wall. Issi Noho is the eponymous main character in a series of books and children's television programmes created, written and narrated by author Keith Chatfield.

Or else he uses his magic cards to provide amusement for himself – a room full of musical instruments, and even a knight on horseback to teach him to play chess. If I put the correct number in I can do magic which works perfectly but if I get the number wrong my magic goes all wobbly wrong. This combination creates an immersive experience that amplifies the impact of their captivating music. Issi Noho was originally published by Heinemann and Piccolo, and 52 episodes of the television programme were produced for Thames Television between 1974 and 1978.I appeared on Thames Television, first between 1974 and 1975 but then repeated through into the 80s. As one of the premier rare book sites on the Internet, Alibris has thousands of rare books, first editions, and signed books available. Adopted by a group of adventurous youngsters, Issi Noho solved their weekly problems with his collection of magic numbered squares.
