Joe Daniels (vintage British performer)

Joe Daniels (1908-2003), born in South Africa, was a British drummer and performer whose career began in the early 1920s. Daniels played with Sid Roy (brother of Harry Roy), and formed his own band with Max Goldberg. Around 1930, he started recording as "Joe Daniel's Hot Shots" (with Billy Mason), and they became a popular recording band. The band performed on BBC radio shows many times.

At the outbreak of World War II, Daniels joined the Royal Air Force where he organized an Air Force band, and produced shows for the troops. After the war and throughout the '50s, '60s, and '70s, he played in both small and in big bands, including recording under the name "Washboard Joe and the Scrubbers".
