Ivan Dayman was an Australian record producer and band manager of the 1960s and 1970s, based first in Adelaide, and then in Brisbane.
In 1963, musician-producer-arranger-songwriter Pat Aulton began working for rising Adelaide entrepreneur Ivan Dayman and his Sunshine group. In late 1964, Dayman established Sunshine Records in collaboration with Aulton and with Nat Kipner, who would later go on to form his own Spin Records.[1]
Among the acts signed or managed by Dayman were Normie Rowe, Mike Furber, Peter Doyle, The La De Das while they were in Australia, and Mother Goose in the late 1970s. Dayman signed the Bee Gees early in their career, but only managed them for a brief period of limited success before they departed for England.[1]
Dayman owned multiple venues within his territory, such as the Cloudland Ballroom in Brisbane (leased from Apel around 1965), The Bowl Soundlounge in Sydney,[1] and the Op Pop disco. By having a stake in both the bands and the venues, he was able to monopolize his area of influence.[2]
