Condolences to the Wester families on the sad loss with the passing of Julien. We loved his company and enjoyed his ballad songs.
May he rest in peace.

If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
His heavy loss, we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
We'll resign ourselves to our sad lot and die in grief and pain
Since Johnny died for Ireland's pride in the foreign land of Spain."

Shocked and saddened
Will always think of Julien singing this...'his' song...

Julien was an enchanted Celtic spirit rekindled in Dundalk. He loved Dundalk and we loved him. He will continue his troubadour mission on a higher plane. Julian’s family, friends and loved ones are in our thoughts and we offer them our sincere sympathies on his sad passing. The legend will always live on In this town.

I remember Julien asking me when I first met him 'what's your favourite Irish song?". Almost like a challenge. I told him it was Peggy Gordon. And he didn't know it. A couple of weeks later he sang it for me from beginning to end. He loved it; the music oozed out of him. Plus the man could cook! Julien I hope wherever you are you're making other people happy with your music as you did us. Bon voyage. X

Julien, you were one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. So glad we got to share a few sing songs and I’m very lucky to have known you. You will be missed dearly - Sadhbh xx

Deepest condolences to the family on the very sad news

Julien I was one of the privileged people to have known you and to have had the honour of playing along with you. Always a perfect gentleman who loved Ireland and his second home Dundalk. Your love of our culture was infectious and no doubt you brought it to your native Brittany. May God give your parents and family strength at this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anim.

Dundalk has lost a brother and Brittany a son. Neither place will be the same again thats for sure. Julian touched many with his warm, genuine open heart and I'm very grateful to have known such an inspiring gent. Thanks for everything you gave x

Mon petit cousin Julien, Des beaux souvenirs d'enfance encore dans ma mémoire, on rigolait bien dans l'insouciance et les conneries de l'enfance, j'espère que tu es en paix la haut. J'apporte tout mon soutien à toute la famille Wester et grande pensée pour ses parents, frères et soeurs. RIP

Julien was a very special addition to Dundalk, we had lots of great times with him singing ballads and at our concerts. His choice of song was absolutely brilliant and better than a lot of natives versed in the session. You’ll be sorely missed Julien lots and lots and lots of love xoxo -Charles
