Joe Archer
Last updated: 08.06.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of works located. All that can presently (January 2024) be gleaned about Joe Archer from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an English music hall comedian/singer who has been featured on 22 works published between 1899 and 1911. His portrait on the left is taken from When There's a Woman in the House (1908) music by Tom Mellor, words by Alf J Lawrance & Harry Gifford, published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
