Her career has included collaborations with members of the progressive rock band Caravan as well as Robert Wyatt. She has released two solo albums and five more with various groups, including Billie Bottle & The Multiple and her current project, Billie Bottle's Temple of Shibboleth, a mythic sisterhood exploring climate collapse and feminism. She also maintains a long association with avant-garde jazz legends Mike and Kate Westbrook, and plays with other jazz-related bands. Billie spent 5 years on the road with Gifford’s Circus, working with clown Tweedy and director Cal McCrystal. She has created soundtracks for theatre works (including Edalia Day's, Too Pretty To Punch) and since 2010 has been working in therapeutic music and care settings. A multi-instrumentalist, she sings and plays piano, guitar, mandolin, bass, and oboe, and is currently training to be an integrative counsellor. Dusty Limits (who is exploring Mrs Shufflewick in the R&D) is a performer, singer, and host who has redefined the boundaries of contemporary cabaret. With over two decades of experience, Dusty has become a legend in the international cabaret scene, captivating audiences with their razor-sharp wit, velvet voice, and theatrical artistry. Known for their darkly comic and deeply emotive performances, Dusty has performed everywhere from London to Liverpool, New York to Berlin. They directed and hosted the original Black Cat Cabaret at the legendary Café de Paris, just one of a myriad of shows they have curated and hosted. They have appeared at the world’s biggest cabaret festival (Adelaide, 2017) and been a mainstay of the Edinburgh Fringe since 2003. Dusty’s work seamlessly blends music, satire, and storytelling into unforgettable experiences. Whether they are crooning Weimar-era classics, singing their sweet-yet-cynical original songs, or reimagining modern pop, their performances are a masterclass in theatricality, song interpretation and emotional depth. Their versatility makes them a perfect fit for a wide range of productions, from intimate cabaret shows to large-scale theatrical events. With a career that spans the globe, Dusty Limits continues to push the envelope, bringing a unique blend of sophistication, humour, and raw talent to every stage they grace.
