The David Gray Denim Bear

A unique handmade bear made from a pair of jeans donated by David Gray.

The bear was created as part of The Great Teddy Bear Project, which features 21 uniquely crafted teddy bears made from jeans donated by famous names from the worlds of music, TV and OUTER SPACE!

Handmade by Canterbury Bears at their workshop in the Kentish countryside, each bear is embroidered with the signature of the celebrity whose jeans they are made from.

The project is organised in support of Together for Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for the 99,000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and their families.

About David Gray:

David Gray is an acclaimed British singer-songwriter whose soulful melodies helped define the sound of the early 21st century. Gray's breakthrough album, White Ladder, was a slow burn success story, spread more my word of mouth and the joy people found in it, rather than massive marketing.
Reaching number one in the UK in 2001, having originally been released in 1998, the album went on to become one of the best selling records all time, remaining in the UK top 100 for three consecutive years. Songs like Babylon, Sail Away and This Year's Love were also big hits, featuring
prominently on radio playlists and providing a soundtrack to many people's lives.

The power of Gray's music and distinctive voice helped re-establish the marketplace for intelligent, individually-defined singer-songwriters that have had such a huge impact on the industry in recent years. His twelfth studio album, Skellig, was released via Laugh a Minute Records / AWAL Recordings on February 19, 2021.
