  We report some recent results obtained for large N gauge theories which
support the idea of volume reduction. Results for the string tension of the
Twisted Eguchi-Kawai model match with those obtained from extrapolation from
finite N. Determination of other observables is currently under way.
Application of the twisted reduction idea to the case of 1 or 2 flavours of
quarks in the adjoint representation of the group offers promising results.
Preliminary results for the string tension point towards a very different
behaviour for 1 and 2 flavours. While the string tension remains finite for 1
flavour at the critical massless quark limit, it seems to vanish with a large
anomalous dimension for the $N_f=2$ case. This is consistent with the predicted
Infrared fixed point expected in the latter case.
