Belly Up & ArtPower at UC San Diego Lunasa Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honour of the Irish god Lugh, Lúnasa was formed in 1997 from members of some of the greatest Irish groups of the previous decade, an early review from Folk Roots magazine describing the band as an “Irish music dream team”. From the start, the band’s complex arrangements and unique sound reshaped the boundaries of traditional music and energized audiences the world over. Critical acclaim followed, The Irish Echo describing the band as the “the hottest Irish acoustic band on the planet”; MOJO magazine named the band "the new gods of Irish music,” adding that “nobody since the Bothies has wielded such a thrilling rhythmic underlay.” Billboard raved that “anybody who listens can’t help but find them contagious.” Having since sold over a quarter of a million records and performed over 2,500 shows across 36 countries, Lunasa has won multiple awards and become one of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music. Collaborations with singers Natalie Merchant, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Tim O’Brien and high-profile concerts at The Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury Festival and Bercy Arena Paris helped broaden the band’s audience and cement it place at the forefront of contemporary Irish music.

Our speaker, Molly Johnson, previews her talk: “I present how the meaning-units of language can be recognized and used with intelligence and delight—whether in teaching students, learning a language, enjoying poetry, or developing AI software. I discuss how language units such as phonemes, phoneme classes, and morphemes contribute to the unique meaning of each word, and how quantifying these units for machines can help us harness AI and enable semantic exploration.” Molly Johnson is an independent researcher. She has a patent pending for inventions in semantic language processing. https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2025207695 Mrs. Johnson has studied ancient languages, the history of writing, literature, and philosophy, and has taught language arts and history to K-12 students.
