Devil's Dyke are very sad to report on the death of a former musician and dancer. Adrian "Adie" Murfitt (1956-2025) played and danced for the side from the 1980s until he moved out of the area in about 1996. Adie was very involved in the local music scene, was a founding member of the Wide Glide Band, and was freuqnetly seen at local music festivals. He'd been unwell and his passing is a great loss to everyone. RIP.

The Devil's Dyke Morris Men come from the area of Newmarket in West Suffolk. You are likely to find us dancing in the area very approximately from north-east of Cambridge up to Newmarket, and then south from Newmarket nearly to Haverhill, and south-west of Cambridge, down to just north-east of Royston. Our practice and dance-out night is Thursday.
