Understanding Through Singing
Children Beyond - the 2nd album in the Beyond series fron Tina, Regula and Dechen - repackaged and expanded!
About the project

Dear Friends, welcome to our PledgeMusic page
We’re here to offer you a new and exclusive way to go ‘Beyond’ and help our organisation to spread it’s message of love and peace across many religions and belief systems.
We’ve teamed up with PledgeMusic to release the second Beyond album – Children Beyond: United with Children in Prayer. The original pressing of the album had a limited release in Germany, Switzerland & Austria but we are now very happy to present the full album to you here, worldwide outside of these territories where it has already been released, and exclusively with PledgeMusic.
For legal reasons we regret that we are unable to accept pledges from the territories where the record has already been released – Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
This version of the album has been fully repackaged and expanded to include a DVD of the journey of the project, featuring Tina, Regula & Dechen singing with the children, and giving an insight into how the Beyond project works, and also a behind the scenes look at the Seeschau Centre.

We’ve added a number of other items here that you can ‘pledge on’ to help support the work of the Beyond Foundation, to whom 100% of the profits will go. Some of them are signed or bespoke and all are designed to spread the message and bring you happiness, whilst at the same time supporting the work of our charity, allowing us to do more with the children that come to us.
No matter what you ‘pledge’ for from the list on the right hand side, you’ll automatically receive a digital download of the Children Beyond album after we’ve hit our 100% target.
Thanks for your time and best wishes to you all.
Tina, Regula & Dechen

"Thursday, Dolder Grand Hotel - 7.36 pm Birthday girl Tina Turner flits through the hotel lobby on the arm of her partner Erwin Bach.
Tina Turner - also with 70, she looks fabulous. She wears a subtle olive-dress, black suede high heels, and her famous ray like smile. The pair, shielded by securities goes into the basement. There, in the "Garden" room, the birthday party with many friends takes place ....
Glitz and glamour! The hall is adorned with lush bouquets of orchids. Tina's friends perform a dance. A film shows all the highlights from the turbulent life of the soul singer. Of course, Tina's biggest hits - "Nut bush City Limits," "Proud Mary" booming - from the speakers. Again and again, the guests applaud enthusiastically.
The majority of guests come from the world of music and business. These include the German singer Herbert Grönemeyer, boutiques Queen Trudie Goetz, Concert King André Béchir, entrepreneurs Sami Bollag and celebrity photographer Alberto Venzago.
Tina now takes the microphone this time not to sing. In a short speech she thanked them for the support and friendship she got from all those people present. and thanks also for all the birthday greetings.
The birthday wishes come from the heart. Publishers couple Ellen and Michael Ringier wish Tina, "to continue the joy of life and health, which she has." Film producer and Oscar winner Arthur Cohn wished her "that she always remains faithful in dignity." And Nestlé Administrator Carolina Muller-Mohl and her partner, Roger Lehmann wish Tina simply "more of the same!"
The Banquet - four soups, steak, dessert, appetizers - lasts until after midnight. Now, the guests begin to dance. You can see the joy of this party in Tina’s face.
A truly happy Birthday!"

Gelredome TINA TURNER "Tina Live' DVD/CD 2 DISC SET

Released 28th September
2008 saw the Queen of Rock "n" Roll, Tina Turner return to the live circuit and announce the ‘Tina Turner's 50th Anniversary Concert Tour’ much to the delight of her fans. The tour kicked off in Kansas in October 2008 and continued for six months visiting over ten countries in two continents.
Tina performed an astounding ninety shows, repeatedly selling out, with nightly standing ovations. Millions of fans and critics alike were blown away by Tina’s age defying high-octane performances showing that the star has no sign of slowing down at nearly 70 years young. The megastar delivered an energetic, powerful, uncompromised two hour set performing classic hits with incredible musicians, vocalists, dancers and ninjas, supported by stunning production, innovative choreography, spectacular lighting, pyrotechnics and much more.
As Tina finished the final show in Sheffield in May 2009 she said, “I have been overwhelmed, astounded and taken to new heights by the reaction of the thousands of fans who came to see me every night. This has been a tour to remember, to hold dear in my heart and what a way to celebrate my 50 years in the business…to sum up…it’s been super!”
To commemorate this record breaking world tour Parlophone will release the Tina Live DVD on 28th September. The DVD was filmed at GelreDome, Arnhem in Holland in March 2009 where Tina played to an enormous crowd of 70,000 people.
Directed by David Mallet for Serpent Productions, he says, ‘Tina is modest. The credits for her stage career should always have read "staged by Tina Turner". As such it has been a positive pleasure over the years to translate her intentions onto film.”
This breathtaking footage is filmed in HD and mixed in 5.1 surround sound. At over two hours long it features all of her much loved songs including, ‘The Best', 'Private Dancer' and the powerful 'We Don't Need Another Hero'.
