James Sharpe (1877–1943), also known as Olly Oakley,[1] was a British banjo player and composer. He was considered a prominent zither-banjo player in England.[2][3][4] His music made up a part of early banjo recordings on the phonograph,[5][6] and during his life, he became "the most widely recorded English banjoist".[2] Other than his performing name of Olly Oakley, he alternately recorded under the pseudonyms Fred Turner, Signor Cetra, Jack Sherwood, Mr F Curtis, Frank Forrester, and Tim Holes.[7]
