Moat on the Ledge: Live at Broughton Castle, August '81 is a live folk rock album by Fairport Convention. The album was produced by Simon Nicol and Dave Pegg.
The album was recorded during an early reunion festival, held at Broughton Castle in August 1981, before that event finally settled in its current Cropredy venue.[2] It features a reunion appearance by Richard Thompson and the first public performance in some years by Judy Dyble.
It was originally released in 1982 as Woodworm WR001 (the number appeared on the label but not the sleeve), it has had various reissues, most recently on the 2007 Eagle Records CD ER 20109-2 and the 2014 Let Them Eat Vinyl LP LETV155LP.
