If you hitch-hiked around a 1000 miles from London you could find yourself in Barcelona, or maybe Prague, but Catherine Brogan  hopes to find herself back where she started.

Catherine is an up and coming London based performance poet, who has recently appeared on BBC Radio 4’s UK Slam, and she is hitch hiking to 12 different poetry events, in 14 days, in 11 towns and cities, covering approx 1111miles.

Details of where you can see Catherine perform will be on WOL’s gig guide, or you can follow her progress through Facebook - www.facebook.com/catherine.brogan, or at www.twitter.com/catherinebrogan, or www.youtube.com/cbroganperformance
