Elvis Presley Tribute Concert - Time Out Dubai
Elvis has long kicked off the blue suede shoes, but his legacy lives in the hearts of many. The persistence of Presley's success has gone beyond anything attached to comparable celebrities. He fused white and black music - country, blues and gospel - to spark the mid - 1950's revolution that popularised rock 'n' roll. He was The King. Woe-betide, then, the thousands of brave suckers whoopt to imitate the one-time Tennessee truck driver. Could there be any tougher gig?
Adam Carter parked his Elvis Presley Tribute caravan at the Dubai Country Club. 'From Memphis to Vegas' drew die-hard fans, many resplendent in gold-lame jackets, rhinestone and gold-plated studs, L-shaped sideburns and Pricilla-esque beehives. Their nationalities, ages and sexes varied, but their passion was shared. It was all for Him.
Pre-Show expectancy was immense. 'The faithful' reminisced about the good 'ol days, the immense impact Presley has on their lives, and the contagious joy his music provided. Tales of 'where I was' on August 16, 1977 - the day Elvis succumbed a diet of batter, booze and prescription drugs - where told through misty eyes.
Silence ripped through the DCC sports hall when Adam Carter bopped on to the make shift stage. The audience was still as he purred an authentic version of 'Blue Suede Shoes', absorbed, it seemed, with indelible Elvis memories and captivated by a dynamic performer who so accurately interpreted his voice, looks and actions. Still unmoved by a feisty version of 'Hound Dog' I'm sure the impersonator was tempted to plead for a little less conversation, a little more action. He resisted and was rewarded with a jammed dance floor - repiete with feather-clad dancing girls - when he belted out the rousing 'Viva Las Vegas'. Tough-as-nails UK tabloids have acclaimed Adam Carter's show as 'eerily close', 'the king reborn', 'amazing & outstanding', 'brilliant'. For once the rags were accurate. For many people, Presley feeds a sense of nostalgia for a more innocent age. Where now the imagery of hard-core porn has conquered the mainstream, he reminds us that once a suggestive swivel of the hips was enough to set a nation of schoolgirls screaming and blush stealing over their mothers' cheeks. Adam Carter allowed his audience to re-visit that time. A class act. Fiona Gowers

Testimonials
The evening was a great success and we have received lots of positive feedback.
We look forward to welcoming Adam back to Ovation for a fantastic evening to include a set 3 course dinner on Monday 20 February 2012. The perfect gift for Christmas!
Just like to say what an absolutely fantastic night we had Friday at my wifes 50th birthday. Adam was totally brilliant. I received compliment after compliment for finding such an enjoyable, professional quality act for this event. Adam was a true star, true professional & is also a true gentleman who I now consider a personal friend. It is my intention to book him again in the new year - same venue to raise money for a new charity recently launched called "The Blue Ribbon Foundation".
Once again many thanks for a fantastic evening & pass on my regards & compliments to Adam.
Some of our guest are still talking about the night two weeks after the event and even people who were not there are talking about it!
There were 3 other weddings parties taking place in the hotel at the same time and several guests from other parties had a look in when Adam was performing and mentioned that our party seemed better than the one they were at!
As we had got married in June in Las Vegas, Adam helped to bring some of the magic alive for our friends and family, particularly the father of the bride who loves Elvis and was more than impressed with the quality of Adams performance!
Thanks once again to you and Adam for helping us at short notice, I couldn't have asked for more!
Adams portrayal of Elvis through the years was a vocal masterpiece. I think the standing ovation from 150 people at the end says it all!!
Look forward to booking Adam again in the near future.
Mike Dodd, General Manager
Thanks again.
As an Elvis fan for many many years, can I please complement Adam Carter for the excellent performance he gave in Caernarfon North Wales (7th Aug.09), from start to finish he had the audience enthralled and dancing in the aisles, I organise many charity functions can you please tell me how much it would cost to book Adam for a Saturday night show, in the next few months.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful night of entertainment Adam provided at Hamsterley on 20th June. He put on a great show, the quality of the sound system was amazing, Adam's voice was sensational. We were captivated by his Elvis moves and mannerisms! Everyone commented on what a great night it was.
Many thanks for helping our school raise much needed funds.
Hopefully next year we'll have another Elvis Night.

Our friends has not seen Adam before and I think they though I exaggerated his expertise on his portrayal of Elvis. They were blown away! Like ourselves they have seen other 'tribute acts' and were expecting something less authentic. For myself, I greatly appreciate the tremendous effort, travelwise, outfit changes etc that go into making this show so enjoyable for us.
Best Wishes, Tanya
Just wanted to say thank you so much for performing at our Gala Ball on Friday.
All the guests seemed to really enjoy it and all the comments so far have been brilliant, it was a great performance and the highlight of the night!
I was lucky enough to speak to Adam on both occasions 'back stage' and was so greatly impressed by his humility. I am a supporting artist (posh name for an extra) on River City etc, so 'stars' don't faze or impress me unless they are genuine.
Adam was a joy to behold and, in view of that fact that his audience are all ancient, he is courtesy itself and makes us all feel young again. He poses for photos for as long as it takes.
We go back in April to see him again. Please add my testimonial to the website if you wish.
Yours faithfully, Isobel Thomson
He is a great guy nothing too much trouble, One of our punters came to me at the end of the night and said do you know that Adam has sung forty six songs, as I have said a truly fantastic artiste. Speak to you soon Jim club secretary.
The other Elvis has a voice like Adam but looks nothing like Elvis. What a voice they both have. I told Adam he would do great in Parkes (Australia) where they have a festival every year in January close to Elvis's birthday. Enclosed is a photo with my friend and Adam.
Gosh I hope he makes the big time, he is just the best. Good luck Adam.
Just to say that Adam Carter was SUPERB this evening!!!
We were fully booked and our guests absolutely loved him - the show was absolutely fantastic, we were so impressed with him! He quite happily granted song requests and posed for pictures with peopla and I was particularly impressed that he made a point of speaking to 2 autistic young boys who joined us for the evening, even giving them a signed CD each.
We would definitely like to rebook him - can you please let me know asap if he is available on Tues 14th October and 23rd December and let me have quotes for each night.
We are really looking forward to Rod Stewart on 5th August as well!
Many Thanks, Emma.
My husband & myself have just come back from the 60's Weekend at Pontin's. We went to see Marty Wilde who is a brilliant performer. We were disappointed that Marty was sandwiched between a John Lennon Tribute and an Elvis Presley Tribute. Marty as usual was fantastic.
However, we were certainly not disappointed with the final act of the night, Adam Carter as Elvis. We have previously seen [Top Elvis Act 1] and [Top Elvis Act 2] but we have to say that Adam is in a class of his own. Not just an outstanding performance but such a nice guy, who put his audience first and nothing was too much trouble for him.
Could you please let us know if Adam will be appearing in the North West in the foreseeable future, as we would love to see him again sometime. May & Pat.
Looking forward to seeing him in the very near future.
