Переведите на ,только правильно.а то в переврчике бред какой if you ever did a musical tour of britain, you might get some surprises. electric guitarists and pop singers are not the only musicians to be heard. there are many strong, local traditions of music still very much alive today. let’s start in the north, in scotland. the national instrument is the bagpipes. not everyone likes the sound it makes, but to the scots, bagpipe music is the most exciting in the world. for centuries, up to the first world war, scottish pipers led the soldiers into battle, played for their royal masters, and at weddings and funerals. the bagpipers are still very popular, and every town has a pipe band. south over the border, into the north of england, we come to the land of the brass band. this is the country of factories and coal mines, many of which have their own bands. some of these are incredibly good. the grimethorpe colliery band, for example, is internationally famous. the bands have an annual competition and britain’s best classical composers write music especially for them. let’s go south again, to central and southern england. music is always to be found in the village church, where the choir sings the old hymns which every schoolchild learns. here also, in the pub, you may meet a singer of old folk songs, or a troupe of dancing morris men. but now we must go west, for we will find the best choral music in wales. the welsh have always been famous for their singing. even before the romans came, 2,000 years ago, their “bards” were known to the ancient world. they still meet every year at the “eisteddfod”, a welsh competition. now their “male voice choirs” are very popular, with their special rich, strong sound. london, like all the great cities of britain, has a long tradition of classical music. every night english and international musicians perform in the concert halls and opera houses. london is one of the great classical music centres of the world. our music tour is over, and it’s time to catch our plane home. but in the london underground we’ll pass some young “buskers”, singing or playing a guitar or a flute. they look modern enough, but don’t be mistaken. people like them have been playing in the streets of britain ever since history began
