Supposedly the soundtrack to the "bemusement park" was all steel guitar. Anyone know the name of the artist whose playing was featured?

I wonder if he paid the musicians in Banksy Bucks?

I'm guessing Barney Isaacs, especially because of the way the volume nob is used. I don't know when this was recorded, but it has the sound of a Magnatone like Barney used.

Tim, it's The Kahalas, not The Polynesians. I don't know the name of the steel player.
