Before Guitar Idol there was GOTY

Been meaning to blog a little snippet I caught in the latest edition of Guitarist Magazine, which reads:

There’s good news for fans of the Guitarist Of The Year competition – previous winners of which include players of the calibre of Guthrie Govan and Dave Kilminster, amongst others. We’ve been considering a practical way to bring it back for a while now and the wheels are in motion for its return in 2010. Watch this space.

A result of the popularity of Guitar Idol? Who knows, but it would be great to see GOTY return! Though would be interesting to see how both GOTY and Guitar Idol would co-exist.
