Would velocity distortion be any way related to cable's resonance properties. For example in antennas, for every frequency, there is specific length of wire which will show resonance properties (at full, half or quater wave length).

So is there any relation between wire resonance (capacitance and inductance are equilibrium) and frequency velocity distortion thru a wire?
No. the velocity distortion is related to how each frequency propagates down the line.

Specific lengths will resonate only by virtue of reflections at each end, like water in a bathtub.

You are mixing terms..cap and induct at equilibrium is an interesting one.. In a transmission line, C and L form the basis for characteristic impedance and prop velocity..not resonance...an infinite transmission line does not resonate..
