Thosaigh R n n ag obair le RT Raidi na Gaeltachta ag t s na n chaid , agus t a ainm ceangailte go dl th leis an st isi n shin. Bh s ar dhuine de na craolt ir Gaeilge is aitheanta sa t r, agus is ioma duine a mheall s i dtreo na teanga agus domhan na ngael lena phaisean d theanga dh chais agus don chult r Gaelach.

Rugadh R n n Mac Aodha Bhu i gCorcaigh, ach bhog an teaghlach go Gaoth Dobhair i dT r Chonaill nuair a bh s tr mh d'aois, agus bh s pr amhaithe go domhain sa chontae sin shin.

Chreid R n n go l idir i gcumhacht an raidi , agus chreid s freisin gurb r l an iriseora an f d a sheasamh don duine a bh faoi chois, an duine beag. Bh ardmheas agus m s aige don sa ocht, agus thaitin s go m r leis a bheith ag foghlaim na gl nta n os sine faoi chora cainte agus n sanna agus a leith id.

Bh s an-tugtha don cheol agus thuig s go raibh t bhacht faoi leith le tionscal an cheoil Ghaelaigh a choth . Thug s ard n do cheolt ir agus banna a bh ag feidhmi tr Ghaeilge ar an raidi , agus tr d an gCabaret Craice ilte, agus thug s spreagadh agus uchtach d ibh. Bh d imh ar leith aige le muintir Oile n Thora , agus is ioma turas a thug s ar an oile n le blianta fada anuas.
