Honfest 2013
Monday, June 10th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
WLOY had a wonderful time supporting all our local “Hons” at our favorite Bawlmer event, Honfest! It was a spectacular 2 day event located on The Avenue right up the road in Hampden. Honfest goers loved our Loyola Listener cards and picked up a few free CDs we were giving out and signed up for our raffle for free tickets at Rams Head Live for shows like Foals, Say Anything, and Hit the Led Out. It was an overall great experience. Check out our photos below!

Our own Tim Tilghman of Radio RockonTour caught up with the lads while they were in Annapolis for a show on March 20, 2013. Kofi (son of Ginger) Baker, Malcom (son of Jack) Bruce, Godfrey (no relation to Pete) Townsend all sat down to give Tim a bit of good-natured grief and talk about their careers and vaguely familiar parents.
