听力原文: I grew up in Scotland. And that was where I first became interested in mu- sic. I've never been outside the country before I joined a rock group. Scot- land has no music industry as such. Everything in terms of the industry goes through London, which makes it quite difficult for Scottish artists to really attract any national attention in the United Kingdom. I think Scottish artists work just by themselves a lot of the time. Edinburgh is a very artistic city. It's sort of known as the artistic center of Scotland and also has quite any effect on the UK scene because it has an arts exhibition every summer and a film week every year. There are a lot of chances at that time for us to attract a huge following. There have always been a lot of popular music groups. The Scots are very friendly and really love to get together. Playing in the bars and cafes is a very common way of reaching the fans. They all sing a- long. There are a lot of great things coming out of Scotland now which is very exciting. It goes in waves. It's becoming quite common for the record companies to come north. And at the moment, I think Scotland is enjoying a sort of rebirth in a sense. With the huge success of Scottish artists over the last ten years, twenty years, they have to rethink. There's just a lot of new development and much more variety now than there was when I was fifteen.

A.Music in Scotland.
