Jellycat Gobfrey Whale Shark

Gobfrey Whale Shark has always dreamed of being part of a musical act. Unfortunately, musical talent has never quite shared the same enthusiasm.

Undeterred, he continues to show up for every rehearsal, every sea shanty and every impromptu underwater singalong with his friends Sullivan and Humphrey. While some might describe his singing voice as "enthusiastic" rather than "accurate", Gobfrey prefers to focus on the joy of performing rather than the finer details of staying in tune.

When he's not practising his latest aquatic anthem, you'll usually find him gliding through the ocean, collecting unusual songs, inventing increasingly dramatic harmonies and insisting that every gathering could be improved by a chorus or two.

With his distinctive whale shark markings, soft blue-grey fur and wonderfully characterful expression, Gobfrey is one of those Jellycats that feels full of personality from the moment you meet him. Equal parts dreamer, performer and lovable optimist, he's a brilliant gift for music lovers, Jellycat collectors and anyone who enjoys joining in, whether they can sing or not.

After all, confidence counts for something — especially when you're halfway through a sea shanty and still making up the words.
