In 1982, two friends Bob and Sigrid opened their new radical lesbian, gay and feminist bookshop, 'Lavender Menace on Edinburgh's Forth Street. On the eve of the shop's 5th birthday, sales assistants Paul and David take a look back at its origins, its importance, its celebration of queer culture, and how things have changed. Love Song to Lavender Menace is a beautifully funny and moving exploration of the love and passion it takes to make something happen and the loss that is felt when you have to let it go.

Edinburgh-based writer James Ley has written plays for A Play, A Pie and A Pint, Glasgay! and The Edinburgh Festival Fringe and his work has been performed at Òran Mór, The Citizens Theatre, The Tron Theatre and The CCA. Mentored through the Playwrights' Studio, Scotland and a finalist in Glasgay!'s Playfest 2010 competition, he was awarded an Arts Council Literature Residency at CovePark in 2010 and was subsequently awarded a grant from The Tom McGrath Trust.
