Howrd, every festival has a CEO, the person or persons that made various financial decisions to continue when they should not have done or should have continued as an amateur [non paid enthusiasts]singers based festival.,
NOT TO BECONFUSED WITH Volunteers who assist in importasnt and necessary jobs ,but have no say in financial direction.
Howard please stop these semantics, you know very well that somebody made a decision , the Ceo may be no paid or may be paid it is irrelevant , they made a bad financial decision
