During this time, Johns was playing in the Presidents, who, according to Johns, began to put the phrase "Featuring Decca Recording Star Glyn Johns" on their posters. Johns realised that he could invite musicians to IBC on Sundays, when the studio was not booking sessions—letting musicians play in the sound room whilst he honed his engineering and producing skills at the console. The makeshift sessions attracted many of the best young musicians in London, such as Jimmy Page, Ian Stewart, Alexis Korner, Brian Jones, and Nicky Hopkins. Johns recounts that his first session as chief engineer was for a recording by Joe Brown, which was produced by Tony Hatch. In 1962, Johns entered into an arrangement with George Clouston, the manager at IBC studios, to let him produce records by certain artists.
