DESCRIPTION:
"Meet on the Ledge" was Fairport Convention's second single.
The song was taken from the album "What We Did on Our Holidays".
The song's title apparently comes from a large, low hanging tree limb which Richard Thompson, as a child, used to play on, and which he and his friends had dubbed "The Ledge".

Richard was somewhat uncertain of his own vocals at the time of the first recording. Instead Sandy Denny and Ian Matthews took the honours. Thompson re-recorded it on the album Small Town Romance (a bonus track), but does not give it any special prominence in his repertoire. He was still in his teens when he wrote it. Fairport Convention re-recorded the song in 1987, releasing it as a track on the album In Real Time: Live '87 and as a single to tie in with the band's 20th anniversary. Of the latter release, band member Ric Sanders quipped at the time "We're going to release it every 20 years until it's a hit". It was covered by Eleanor Shanley, Noel Murphy and the Continental Drifters. The title has been used for a compilation album by Fairport Convention and a book about them.
