It's the purr-fect Christmas present for young pop fans - a date with girl group Atomic Kitten.

The all-girl trio have just announced a date at Bournemouth International Centre for next November as part of their forthcoming national tour.

Natasha, Liz and Jenny are one of the biggest pop groups around, and have scored number one hits worldwide with singles such as Whole Again, Eternal Flame and The Tide Is High.

They are currently riding high in the charts with The Last Goodbye/Be With You, the double A-side release from their latest album, Feels So Good, which has just gone triple platinum.

One of the country's most successful pop exports, Atomic Kitten have achieved chart success as far afield as Australia, South Africa, the Far East and Canada.

Stunning looks, great harmonies and purr-fect pop tunes have kept Atomic Kitten at the top of the UK charts for most of this year, and their success looks set to continue long into 2003.

Early booking for the Kitten's Bournemouth date on November 24 2003 is advised.

Tickets cost £18.50. For more information, call the box office on 01202 456456 or visit the website at www.bic.co.uk
