If in the Rockville area (out in Maryland), I would recommend Hagan's Four
Courts restaurant.  They have live music most evening and on most Sunday
afternoons and have Guiness, Harps, and others on tap, available in
REAL PINTS!  While they have a "pubby" bar, they are also a nice
restaurant.

Just two that I know of are WAMU (American University) 88.5 on the dial at
8:00 on Saturday mornings and WETA-FM, 90.9 at 4:00 on Saturday afternoons.

Sorry, can't help there.  I would suggest, however, that you explore the
Adams-Morgan area of northwest DC.  There are a large number of ethnic
markets there.
