We'd like to dedicate this week's English Show to Mike McNamara, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago. Mike was the singer of the band Mojo Train, who - way back in 2001 - recorded an English Show jingle - the jingle that you still hear today at the beginning of each show. In October 2013, Mike and Mojo Train came into the studio to play a couple of songs live, and we all had a blast. Thank you, Mike, and Mojo Train, for giving us so much joy!
