Are you referring to the banjo piece at the beginning of Lomax's Patchwork programmes? If so I believe the musician is Sheila Kaye Adams and I think the tune is Paddy on the Railroad.

You could probably check it out with her or someone at the Lomax Archives.

Bear in mind that many tunes share titles and many titles are used for different tunes and often tunes are played at a different tempo. The music that I refer to was played on banjo at the beginning of Lomax's Patchwork quilt programmes. I have been playing it for years on banjo in G modal. Definitely not a jig version.

I just went to you tube put in Paddy on the Turnpike, banjo.

The 4th on the list came up with a version which is similar I believe to what you want. The poster was jbbvideonetwork.
