The judges had a very hard job in deciding the top three as these top three will represent The Kings Head at Anglian Idol 2009 later this year. It took the judges a good 20 odd minutes to make a decision but eventually they returned with their verdict.
The top three were:
3rd – Elaine
2nd – Goldrush
1st – Nancy
