The Hidden Years Music Archive Project is funded by 3rd Ear Music Concerts & Festivals & through a grant-in-aid from the National Arts Council of South Africa with proceeds from the sale of limited edition archive CD-R re-issues.
Thanks to Terry Rosenberg for his invaluable contribution. & of course to all the Musicians & Music people for their talent & time.

The 3eM Archive collection proudly holds the words & music of many artists, spanning 35 years. 3eM was formed in the 60's by Ben Segal & Audrey Friend-Smith.
David Marks became a full-time director in 1970.
Thanks to Toma Simons & the late Don Williamson.
In memory of Rodney Barnett & Tony Cambell.

Every effort will be made - depending on sales & funding - to get as many of these unique recordings onto CD. However, no copies of archived recordings will be issued without permission from the musicians.

3eM has a unique 'investment' plan for those who may want to hear certain masters re-issued on CD or CD-R. Perhaps it's your favourite 'hidden years' musician or your own recordings. Please email us.

Please read the copyright note.
