HTFB starts from January 1st. 2024 for members only

You still have until December 31, 12:00 PM to become a member of HTFB

Important to know. From January 1, 2024, HTFB will only be accessible to invited guests. Because it would be a shame to delete all digitized albums, the following will change. A contribution of €13.50 will be made to this blog from HTFB. A maximum of 100 music lovers can register from today. For this contribution you can download everything that will be uploaded without any popups or advertisements. 

Please note that there is only room for 100 guests and your subscription runs from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025. This way I can continue and only the real enthusiasts will remain on HTFB.

Become also a member of HTFB and send a request now, you can register until December 31, after which this blog will become private

You can send an email with your name and email address for an invitation, then you will receive a request from me via PayPal to transfer the €13.50. Only once the amount has been transferred will you have access to Hard To Find Beats

Stay safe... Hard To Find Beats
