Where has the time gone?
Back on the 13th of February in 2006, a new breakfast show for the South East went on air for the very first time, with the possibility of still being there 10 years later a distant target.
At the Set Theatre in Kilkenny this morning, Niall and Vinny of Beat Breakfast celebrated that exact feat.
Like with any birthday party however, they didn't celebrate it alone, with a couple of famous faces making an appearence. Irish band Keywest took time out of their busy schedules to perform in front of over 100 of Beat Breakfast's loyal listeners.

Fresh from his show in the Set Theatre last night, comedian Jason Byrne stayed around the Marble City to join in with the celebrations:
