Amhránaí sa tsean-nós ó Rinn Ó gCuanach i nGaeltacht na nDéise is ea Cárthach Mac Craith. Cé gurbh é ‘An Tobar Séimh’ an chéad dhúithdhiosca aonair ag Cárthach tá a ainm in áirde le fada an lá mar amhránaí. Ba é an chéad amhránaí é ag an mórghrúpa Danú agus tá sé ina bhall de Chór Fear na nDéise.

Tá ceithre amhrán déag ar an rothán nua seo , an formhór aca ón a dhúthaigh féin ach iad go léir i stíl ársa, bhinnfhriotalach na nDéise.
“Éistigí leis an rothán so agus aireoidh sibh oidhre de chuid an tseanrí ag teacht i seilbh a dhúchais féineach agus is bóiceálach an lá do Ghaeltacht na nDéise, don Rinn agus don Ghaelainn é “. An Dr. Stíofán ó Cadhla.
