During the Feb. 6 meeting, Whitecap CEO Ben Murphy had said the July 14-15 dates were proposed partly due to the availability of one high-profile musical act. He said booking well-known performers was difficult and that the success of launching a new festival often depended upon the headlining name associated with it.Concert goers take in the Cavendish Beach Music Festival - FileOn Feb. 28, Murphy told SaltWire Network he was disappointed by the vote.
