THEME
Greater than Gold is based on 1 Corinthians 9:24: 'All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally.' (The Message) Why not find out what's even greater than gold at FF2012?
Firm Foundations prides itself in the quality of artists appearing at the festival. Over the years acts such as Delirious?, One Hundred Hours, Robin Mark, yFriday, thebandwithnoname, My Spoon and many more have graced the festival stages during the weekend.
The speakers who share their experiences and thoughts with everyone are always of the highest quality and relevant to the young people that come to FF with many of their testimonies helping and encouraging them to come to know, or come closer to, God.

You will find out here first who is appearing at Firm Foundations 2012. So far confirmed are:
Our Dad are a jazz/funk/dance band who will be headlining the Saturday evening of FF2012.
Our Dad's EP, Talking To Our Dad, can be listened to and downloaded now from here.
Our Dad's Steve Weeks had this to say about the band:
"Our Dad is a family business. For more than ten years the funky boys have been earning their reputation as the Legendary Jazz Funk Dance band, surprising dance floors and festivals with one shake down after another."
"If you love groovy grooves, if you love to dance, if you love a good laugh, if you love top class live playing with real brass and classic tunes, you are going love your evening with these funksters."
"The rhythm section's tighter than your little brother's speedos, the front line's classier than James Bond's tuxedo, so prepare to get sweaty, happy, and fabulously funky with Our Dad."
Pop-rock band The Steels make their return to Firm Foundations in 2012, having last performed back in 2009. They will be playing a set on the Saturday afternoon.
Coming from the North East of England, the three-piece signed to Kingsway in June 2010. All in their twenties, all having been on the road together for years, all with a shared passion for seeing their music help people establish deeper connections with God.
Their unmissable live sets have astounded music lovers at major festivals all over the world; more recently performing on BBC's Songs of Praise and the God Channel's GTV LIVE. The audience have the time of their lives while hearing The Steels' blend of guitar driven rock, which delivers the message of Jesus in a new and refreshing style.
The band's latest album, titled Supreme, was released in 2010. The album is available to purchase here.
Comedian Andy Kind has been confirmed to appear on the Saturday evening at Firm Foundations 2012.
From Andy's website:
"Andy Kind is a professional stand-up comedian. He has been part of the comedy circuit since January 2005. In that time he has performed all over the country, winning awards and acclaim as he goes. Since winning Anything for Laffs, he has gone on to be recognised as one of the warmest and most engaging comperes in British comedy.
Described by The Scotsman as 'terrific' and by BBC online as 'a future star', Andy has been featured on BBC1, ITV, Channel 4 and national radio. In addition, he has been asked to support the likes of Tim Vine and Milton Jones on their national tours.
Andy is also a published author, with his first book (Stand Up and Deliver) published by Monarch Books in April 2011. His next book, Grandad, was due to be finished late on in 2011.
Andy's comedy blends joyful exuberance with the playful ranting of a man on the wrong side of 30. Add to this a love of ad-libbing and super-strong stage presence, and you have the prospect of a great night's entertainment."
