Was the event in September Paul?
I would speak with the hotel (hopefully you have a strong relationship with them). I'm sure data protection acts are in place to ask for their personal details but they may be able to point you in the right direction about contacting them further.

Dependant on how much money you stood to gain and have potentially lost, I would personally look to "write it off". Gasp I hear you say, but short of sending a legal type letter it would perhaps be more time and effort than it is worth getting the money back.
Or you could "Send the Boys Round" !!!

Event was September 18th.
Hotel has exactly same contact info as I do. I actually gave them the working email address of the client.
I'm thinking it may be a trip down to the address and check it out, chat to neighbours etc. Ironically I know that was definitely their house as the I met them there when they booked initially.

Don't really want to "write it off" wasn't a cheap day!
As for sending the boys round. Quite possible as I know someone with a debt collection "Agency" however if they're not living there anymore it's pointless.

So what happened with the hotel, did the event just not happen yet they were paid?

The hotel are still chasing them too!

get the hotel to stick your fee on their claim,and let them do the chasing.

I would just accept its a write off. Its difficult to prove you have had a material loss as you never actually lost anything. The nature of our business means you lost an evenings work, but physical out of pocket is nil and you never actually provided the service. In fact you have some funds for no service at present.
I think you are onto a loser personally.

It is never nice to read that somebody has been let down and is having to chase payment especially if it is their only means of income.
But I do wish people would refrain from this habit of suggesting that you 'send the boys round'.
Its not professional,its not business like and it certainly doesnt do anything for the image of djing.

I would write it off and move on.
Failing that go through the small claims court and have a summons issued but I wouldn't hold my breath on getting paid.
