	I'm back at the Intrepid Fox again, to see No Direction this time. There is a decent turnout in the upstairs room to see this reformed Finnish punk 'n' roll band. Although frontman Pete (who also plays bass in the Vibrators these days) and guitarist Hannu remain, there have been some lineup changes from the original band: The drumstool is now occupied by ex-Wildheart Stidi (now almost unrecognisable with his shaven head!) and Ade from Tokyo Dragons takes the other guitar job. Old favourites from the band's 'The Stories Behind The Headlines' album get an airing, but there is some new stuff too - seems like there is life in these old dogs yet...

PS: This incarnation of the famous Intrepid Fox pub is no more. It has now moved to the old Archway Tavern - another venue with strong music connections.
