One person who won't be there is Alio - the Festival Director.

She's in hospital, having had an operation to remove a diverticulosis from her intestine. She's in a lot of pain, and likely to stay in hospital for two weeks, with at least a month or two convalescence afterwards.

I'm sure you will join with me in wishing her well... I expect to visit her in hospital within the next couple of days, and will report back.
