Is iad Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich agus Niamh Varian-Barry a bheidh le cloisteáil i gclár na seachtaine seo agus iad i mbun ceoil agus comhrá le Liam Ó Maonlaí. Is as Baile na bPoc i gCorca Dhuibhne i gCiarraí do Mhéabh Ní Bheaglaoich, ceoltóir ildánach, amhránaí agus cumadóir, duine de theaghlach ceolmhar aitheanta an cheantair sin. Tá an domhan siúlta aici ag casadh ceoil, agus cuairt tugtha aici ar thíortha ar nós an tSeapáin, an Téaváin, Meiriceá, Ceanada, an Rúis agus tíortha ar fud na hEorpa. Is le blianta beaga anuas a thosaigh sí ar an gcumadóireacht, agus d’eisigh sí a céad albam aonair, Mise le Meas, sa bhliain 2021. Is as Corcaigh ó dhúchas do Niamh Varian-Barry, ceoltóir, cumadóir agus amhránaí, atá anois ag cur fúithi sa Daingean. Bhí Niamh ina príomhamhránaí leis an sárghrúpa Solas, tráth, agus is iad Martin Hayes, Máirtín O’Connor, Lúnasa, Altan agus Josh Ritter atá i measc na gceoltóirí ar chas sí ar stáitse leo go dtí seo. Tá an tsraith seo maoinithe ag Údarás Craolacháin na hÉireann leis an Táille Ceadúnais Teilifíse. Is athchraoladh é seo.
