Hack

An investigation by triple j hack has uncovered allegations that a booking agency failed to pay more than 20 Australian bands and artists.
Multiple musicians claim they were "ghosted" by the booking company after their performance, and never received payment.
While other musicians told hack there were significant delays in payment, with some alleging they only received money after "hounding" and "begging" the gig booker. 
So, how often is this happening in the local music scene? And what should you do if it happens to you?
In this week's deep dive, we hear from young musicians who say they were ripped-off and speak with a lawyer specialising in music & entertainment to get some practical advice.
