Re: Entertainment law ?

Whether you have any recourse will depend on your contract with the band. If your contract required disclosure of other bookings that would reasonably compete with your own, the band may have been in breach of your contract, and you may be able to recover damages. If your contract did not restrict competing performance dates, or atleast require notice of such conflicts, you should have your attorney review and modify your standard booking contract and chalk this one up to a learning experience.
