'It was just brilliant having you with us at the weekend. You were so responsive, musical, flamboyant and it was a real joy to be in front, conducting you.  As I said, I loved the focus of your voice, and well done you for being so game to go for those runs at the speeds we were taking it, especially on Sunday!' - Marion Dodd - Roxburgh Singers, formerly BBC Singers
'From the very beginning of the performance there was a special sense of atmosphere, matching the events of the gospel story as we journeyed through it...soprano Aimee Toshney shared with us the deepest of emotions, singing the part of Mary, the mother of Jesus, after seeing him die.' - www.congletonchoralsociety.org.uk
After spending her childhood in Ayr singing the works of Robert Burns, Scots Song and traditional music remains close to Aimee's heart.

'What a terrific night of entertainment at our last Burns Supper in the Glasgow Art Club in Feb 2016, which was made perfect with songs from a superb soprano Aimee Toshney. The feedback we got from our patrons was fantastic and I would not hesitate to book her again. Aimee gives a real depth of feeling to any of Robert Burns’s songs. It is a must to get her to sing 'Oh Whistle', a song which she completely owns.  Her sparkling performances will delight any audience.' - David Vennard, Glasgow Haggis Club (rebooked 2017 - 2020)
'A glorious voice!' - Sheena Wellington

'Thank you so much for singing at our wedding. You did an absolutely wonderful job and people still haven't stopped complimenting you. You brought quite a few tears to our family's eyes!' - Clare and Ryan McCallum, Ayr
‘We could not have been more pleased with Aimee’s performance at our wedding. Her contribution went well beyond our expectations both musically and professionally. The repertoire – Strauss’ ‘Morgen’, Hahn’s ‘A Chloris', and Britten’s setting of Auden’s ‘O tell me the truth about love’, was exacting and displayed not only Aimee’s gifts but her versatility. Her truly gorgeous legato line in the Hahn was stunning and a subsequent performance we heard on Radio 3 paled in comparison. Our guests were equally delighted with, and moved by, Aimee’s singing. If you have an opportunity to book her, take it.’ - Mark and Gaynor Scrivenger, Liverpool
'I can't thank you enough for adding something special to our wedding day. Having you sing 'Red Red Rose' during our ceremony was truly wonderful and so many of our guests are still talking about it!!' - Kingsleigh and George Mitchell, Prestwick
'Having Aimee sing at our wedding ceremony was truly wonderful. She gave a gorgeous rendition of the Spanish hymn 'Pescador de Hombres' (Lord you have come to the seashore). Aimee learned the hymn for the occasion and collaborated with the organist on the day of the wedding. Aimee's knowledge of Spanish, her professionalism, her love of music, and her amazing vocal talent truly shone through. This all resulted in an unforgettable and stunning hymn. It was the perfect accompaniment as we signed our marriage schedule. We have received many compliments from our guests on her beautiful voice. We were absolutely delighted and would highly recommend her!' - Marie-Clare and Lewis MacAskill
'I was asked to obtain the services of a soprano to sing at the Requiem Mass of a well known and loved member of our local catholic church and Aimee was recommended. From our first contact through to the day itself, Aimee's understanding of the situation and what the family required was more than we could have asked for. Her voice on the day added a serene accompaniment to a sad day and lifted all who were present; I wish this could happen at every funeral we looked after.' - John Wild, Director, Jonathan Alcock and Sons Funeral Directors, Cheadle
'I was so very pleased with how the funeral service went on Thursday for my husband Robert.  Your performance singing the Pie Jesu was absolutely beautiful and was a massive contribution to making the service as perfect as it could be, to the extent that other people said they got goosebumps.  I believe it was a highlight of the service for many as I received lots of complimentary comments about your performance.  I for one, am truly grateful.' - Lesley Cook, Manchester
