The launch events included an evening concert called [[You Rarely Hear This On the Radio!]] at Hastings Garden, overlooking Marsamxett Harbour. This was the first in a series of events planned by M3P for 2010 & 2011.
The main goal of the M3P is to provide an inclusive repository for memories of Malta's music and associated arts, ensuring that these are kept in posterity for current and future generations.

Welcome to M3P: the Malta Music Memory Project
a collaborative database of Maltese music and associated arts
currently holding 4,878 items with contributions from 12,903 registered users


The main goal of the M3P is to provide an inclusive repository for memories of Malta's music and associated arts, ensuring that these are kept in posterity for current and future generations.

We're in the process of rethinking what should be on the Main Page. Regular contributions from the scene are handled through the M3P Community Portal.

We're still working on developing our simple help documentation even further for users of this website who want to collaborate on this project. Also check out the Editorial Policy for some practical content guidelines. Meanwhile, please feel free to explore and check back later if you still need guidance.
