Musically here in Muscat, they have resident and visiting bands playing mostly rap (snore !), plus general-purpose Filipino bands. They've also got an occasional jazz club here to visit, but I would sell my grannie for a blues and R&B club (R&B = James Brown, Bo Diddley, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Howling Wolf and '60's British R&B etc etc - not Beyoncé and Sean Paul)
