The transverse lattice approach to non-perturbative light-front hamiltonian QCD is described. Preliminary results on the pi-rho system are presented, at fixed DLCQ and Tamm-Dancoff cut-offs. A renormalised, approximately Lorentz covariant light-front hamiltonian is found to leading order of the colour-dielectric expansion, compatible with a massless pion. The pi light-front wavefunction is compared with experiment. Exclusive processes agree reasonably well, given the approximations, but inclusive processes, sensitive to higher Fock state structure, still exhibit large cut-off artifacts.
