Security was left confused after finding a man reading a book in the middle of a rave.

The bookworm attended the Hospitality BBQ at Motion in Bristol on Saturday, but seemed a lot more interested in his novel than the music.

Almost 10,000 people contracting coronavirus every day, says Matt Hancock

A reveller filmed the man standing on a staircase completely engrossed in a book during DJ Marky’s set, while others partied around him.

In the clip, security can be seen approaching the him before asking him to move down from the stairs.


The man then appears to show the baffled security guard something in his book and at it all ends in a cute pat on the back.

One witness to the bizarre incident said: ‘We were enjoying Marky’s set, which we’d been looking forward to all day, then my mate turned around and started laughing.



‘I asked what he was looking at and that’s when I saw this guy reading a book on the stairs.

‘I’m not sure what he was reading but it must’ve been a proper page turner as he was pretty engrossed in it.

‘Either that or he hates drum & bass. If that’s the case he was probably at the wrong event.’
