Meet Gilbert the Great Blue Whale — a true lover of music and one of the most dedicated archivists you'll ever come across. He spends his days managing the sound department at a grand London library, a role that calls for extraordinary patience, razor-sharp hearing, and a surprisingly nimble pair of flippers perfectly suited to handling cassette tapes.
When he's not cataloguing recordings, Gilbert is diving deep into his personal collection of marine soundscapes. His closest collaborator is Gobfrey the Whale Shark — a choirmaster and enthusiastic collector of deep-sea shanties — who regularly ships over tapes stamped "urgent": typically a slightly off-key humpback choir or an especially enthusiastic performance of My Barnacle Lass.
Maybe Gilbert would love to hear your favourite song too?
