Subject: Lyr Req: The Hush - '...colours to the mast...'?
Hello,

I'm trying to find a song, that I can't remember 99% of the words or the tune to (er...).

All I really remember is that it was from Cropredy Festival, and was sung by a Geordie band. A bit of investigation tells me that that must have been "The Hush" in 2003, and further investigation reveals that they seem to have recorded only one album, "Dark to the Sky", but it's not on iTunes, and I'm struggling to find it really. The only thing I remember is the really interesting explanation of where we get the phrase to nail your colours to the mast, and the line I remember is, unsurprisingly "nailed his colours to the mast".

It was a really really good song, and the line popped into my head recently. Can anyone help!? I've searched the songs here but I only get Forgotten Hero and that's not it.

Thank you!
L
