In 1958, Glyn left Sutton High School in Surrey, England, surrounded by music. Some of his friends and school-mates had formed The Presidents rock band whilst others, like Dick Morrissey, who sadly died in November 2000, ventured into the world of jazz. After securing a job at IBC studios he was able to bring The Presidents in at weekends and evenings to hone his recording skills.

Recording The Presidents was his first solo production endeavour. The music, by today's standards, was basic at the beginning but, with the band doing gigs and constantly improving, Glyn developed his skills and saw that rock production was the way he wanted to go. Glyn and the band were all hungry to improve and being on such friendly terms with all the members he was able to suggest improvements and direct the sessions to get exciting and satisfying results.

In the late 1950's and early 60's IBC studios were in the business of recording a wide range of sound, from classics to comedy. Who knows what direction Glyn would have taken if it hadn't been for The Presidents.

G. J. 2000.
