June 2025 Wedding at Chaucer Barn
Just want to say the biggest thank you to Matthew and Sara!
It was honestly all we could of asked for! You both played so incredibly well and we had so many compliments on it! The music made the day so special! We are so grateful! Even in the rain the music was so beautiful. Both were so polite and professional and the music was just amazing. Would use again and again without a doubt! Definitely made our day more special.

Harvest Supper reaps rewards
A superb Harvest Supper became truly magical when violin and piano duo Sea
Fever gave a spell-binding performance at Miller’s Barn, Saxthorpe. Sara Longe (violin) and Matthew Preston (pictured) rounded off an evening that had brought together some 60 people to raise money for St Andrew’s Church. The result was a boost of more than £1200 to church funds.

A Special Event
Sara & Matthew played ant a very special event in our community. They are both total masters of their instruments; Matthew providing the rich piano foundation for Sara's violin to to sing in harmony with.
In-between each song Matthew provided both interesting and humorous descriptions of what they were playing. The most moving part for me was the rendition of 'A Nightingale Sang in Barclay Square'. This had me closing my eyes and being transported to another time, another place as the music reached into my soul. Sea Fever are an exceptional pair of musicians and I can't wait to hear them again!

Beautiful Music!
We recently had the privilege of hearing Sara and Matthew play together at a Harvest Supper event. They chose such a thoughtful and clever combination of pieces to play, from classical to smooth jazz to folk, and finished with a singalong piece to bring us all together into the music. Their set was so skillful and joyful, it really brought a special celebratory feel to the occasion. They’re a brilliant musical team!
